On May 27th I made a funny post about a customer complaint issue. While written "tongue and cheek" the post has generated 9 comments (not a lot), however the negative responses suggest that I remove the post and some even threaten "never to do business" with us. I feel the intimidation threat.
My sense of fairness has caused me to appeal to my Blog readers to comment and tell me if they think I should yeild to the threat and remove the post.
Again, I was just having a little fun.

Black Nova - rated 94 points by Beverage Tasting Institute, Chicago
94 Points
Chateau Julien Black Nova - 94 Points
Deep garnet violet color. Lovely aromas of toffee, cedar, honeycomb, and blueberry cobbler a la mode follow through on a smooth, supple entry to a fruity-yet-dry medium-full body with excellent depth and highly polished oak beautifully supporting the fruit. Finishes with a long, creamy, nutty fade. Very sensual and enticing."

Wine Estate gears up for wine & car enthusiasts
during August’s classic car week
Dine amongst the vines and view vintage Ferraris at first annual event
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carmel, Ca. – Chateau Julien Wine Estate has organized week-long festivities to coincide with the region’s popular classic car week August 11 – 15, 2009. A premier Dine in De-Vine event will welcome guests into the vineyard for an authentic wine country dining experience nightly beginning at 6:30pm, with vintage cars on display throughout the evening. The Wine Estate will also host the Ferrari’s FCA Vintage Concours on Thursday August 13th, and welcome guests from 1:00pm to 4:00pm to view the rare collections. Both events take place amongst the winery’s 16-acre estate of vineyards, Chateau and cobblestone courtyards.
Effortlessly set tables will line the plush Sangiovese vineyard Tuesday through Saturday evening for the first annual Dine in De-Vine, offering guests a new option for dining during the busy week. Chef Terry N. Teplizky has prepared an inviting, elegant pre-fix Basque menu, with choice of entrée and wine, to be served amongst the vines, followed by a dessert lounge and vintage car display at the Chateau. “As long-time fans of the local classic car events, we hope that our evening dinners will enable visitors to experience our local wine country after hours- and see some rare concours quality cars,” comments Chateau Julien Special Events Director Michele Gogliucci. Featured evening highlights to date include Porsche, early 911S and R Group 1967- 1973, and Ferrari. Dine in De-Vine menu selections begin at $47 per person. Learn more about the menu, Chef and featured cars on the Chateau Julien website- News & Events. Reservations begin at 6:30pm each evening. Seating is limited so please make your reservations early.
During the day on August 13, 2009, the Wine Estate will also host its first Ferrari FCA Vintage Concours which will be open to the public from 1-4pm. Guests can view over 175 concours-quality Ferraris parked eloquently throughout the Estate, stroll Ferrari-lifestyle booths or indulge in a choice of BBQ, espresso bar, gelato or favorite Chateau Julien wine.

This is funny! I suggest he call his insurance company!
This email was received by the Wine Estate:

First Name: Sid
State: OR
Country: US
Fax: - no data -
Comments: I received a bottle of wine as a gift a short while ago and when I opened it up it was 'Rank'. It was kept in a wine cooler. It is a 2005 Chateau Julien Cabernet S. with barcode 016299144103. I still have the bottle and contents.
Have you visited?: - no data -
This was our response!!!!
Hi Sid,
Good afternoon!
Thank you for your inquiry. Your gift giver certainly chose a lovely bottle of wine to give you as a gift. This wine has received numerous awards and accolades. I have not heard of any other complaints. Once the wine leaves the winery premises I can't guarantee how the wine will be stored. A red wine in a very cold cooler certainly can turn the wine a different color and flavor. I don't know what "rank" is, but I get the feeling it is something you don't care for very much.
Your best bet is to send a thank you note and move on. I once received a broken bracelet as a gift, but didn't have the heart to let the giver know.
Cheers,

Watch for Taxation on Wine!
Wine & Spirits Daily
April 17, 2009
Researcher Blasts CA's Dime a Drink Tax
Dear Client:
After successful lobbying from The Wine Institute and other trade groups prompted California lawmakers to drop the controversial nickel-a-drink tax last month, state assemblyman Jim Beall Jr. has introduced a bill that would raise state alcohol taxes by a dime a drink. According to him, "The alcohol industry creates devastating problems - traffic accidents, alcoholism - and walks away with money stuffed in its pockets while the public - including nondrinkers - are left to pay billions for the mess." As usual, it's leaders like Beall that refuse to credit the alcohol industry for all the effort and money it invests in curbing underage drinking and alcohol abuse. Instead, they are more interested in pushing their own agenda and prying tax dollars from Americans who are overwhelmingly moderate and responsible drinkers.
In a local California newspaper paper, a professor heading the Reason Foundation said the assemblyman's claim that the alcohol industry creates problems "is false" according to his own research. In fact, affluent and successful people are more likely to drink. His 2006 study found that drinkers earn 10% to 14% more money than nondrinkers. Men who drink socially, visiting a bar at least once a month, bring home an additional 7% in pay.
A 2005 study sponsored by the National Institute for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse similarly found that drinking actually increased the returns to both education and work experience. And a 2001 study, "The Impact of Problem Drinking on Employment," found that even "problem drinking is not negatively related to labor supply," writes Professor Edward Stringham in the OC Register.
Furthermore, research indicates that only one-third of violent crimes involve alcohol, although The Marin Institute says $8 billion in annual costs to taxpayers stem from alcohol-related crime.
Finally, he ends the article by rightly claiming "the overwhelming majority of people who consume alcohol do so responsibly." Heavy drinkers do not curb their drinking in response to higher prices. Instead, it is light-to-moderate drinkers who are affected. "If alcohol abusers are truly addicted, will an extra 'dime a drink' stop them? Will a career criminal decide to not get drunk before his next crime spree because of a 10-cent-per-drink tax? Of course not."
