Lol. Trump probably did not plan it that way for his brand, but imagine that! People used to see Trump brand equally with illegals hiring California wineries, but now no more!

Trumpers boycotting wines and instead buying Trump wine is the result.

The fiendish California big businesses pushing for illegal aliens coming in are going to get hammered and people will find alternative products in Trump products! This is like much better opportunity than Sam Walton’s.

I hope my local Wegmans in Massachusetts carries Trump wine.

Silly loony leftists, whatever they say to do, real Americans do the opposite.

Unless I missed something, how did you come to the conclusion that California wineries were going to be boycotted? Because of 10 Wegmans? It’s GREAT news and I’m happy but just wondering how you made that leap.

Plus I only buy Italian wines anyway.

Wine isn’t something you buy/don’t buy based on a name.

Unless one doesn’t know wine :)

The company responded that it bases inventory “solely on how well [a product] sells,” and welcomed shoppers to “demonstrate their convictions.”


The correct response to the leftist bullies.

dp0622: I agree with you that the article says nothing that would lead one to conclude that CA wineries employ invader labor and Trump wineries do not. Lavaroise: I agree with the concept that whenever we have a choice we should avoid products from companies that hire invaders or (I'll add) unnecessarily use H1B Visa workers.

As far as Italian wines as a choice? That's fine. Buying imports that are something unique to that country, as long as they have fair labor practices, is a responsible choice. If the purpose of that product being imported is to undercut US workers, it's an unethical purchase.

So, yeah my wool sweaters are from Ireland and England. Silk and tea can come from China. etc. But US flags and Christmas cards (etc) made in China? That's disloyal to our nation.

The Grania Doctrine spelled out. <^..^>

PS: President Trump isn't running the family businesses now. But I hope the kids get on board and manufacture everything possible in the US.

“Wine isn’t something you buy/don’t buy based on a name.

Unless one doesn’t know wine”

After decades of eating (and preparing) hot spicy foods in and around SE Asia and the Western Pacific, I can attest that my taste buds are not anything close to what they used to be. In essence... good wine is wasted on my tattered palate. A sad testament, indeed.

But I am delighted to report that I have uncorked some very good wines, let them sit properly and have produced some outstandingly complex vinegar’s!

We need a really big league warehouse to store all the winning. Huge.

Good morning - what are your recommendations? I'm a 'full body, don't hold anything back, yeehaw!' wine drinker.

Which is why I primarily drink tequila, but I want to explore Italian wines. :)

Wow. My first wine snob. On FR of all places.

The first wine I ever drank was at age four, home made, dago red, made by the old folks that came over on the boat.

The old man had many 55 gallon barrels stored in the cold room, and it was a regular staple at every meal, including breakfast.

He would use wine in his black coffee in lieu of cream or sugar.

As I grew older, my taste memories led me to drink Chianti and it comes from Tuscany.

I'm not a wine snob, as I drink very little wine, but when I do... {less than $35/bottle}
