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

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!
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. :)
Loved the local wines while stationed there.
You're right. I buy based if it comes in a box or not.
I know what wines I like and buy them only according to my fairly non-discriminating taste buds and ability to smell. But I would have boycotted Wegman’s just to make the point.... Too bad there isn’t a Wegman’s close around here.
