Worst news I've heard yet out of Napa

"Bronco Wine Company, which has a huge distribution center near the epicenter in American Canyon, [only] had "a few bottles rattled," according to spokesman Harvey Posert."

The bad part: only a few.

Yeah, but when you consider the scale, "a few" for Bronco is 100K-200K. :twisted:

Articles in the paper this morning are guessing that some people may have lost 10 to 15% of barrel inventory. Some bottles broken, too, I imagine, but if they're capable of withstanding UPS, a mere earthquake shouldn't be much of a problem. :twisted:

I don't think so, he's selling more wine now than he ever did. He essentially invented the 'Two Buck Chuck' tag.

I suppose much depends on how one defines "comedown." :P
