Interesting coincidence, and I have to wonder who you are... Lewis, you are a great reporter and the local and unbiased source so many of us look to first. Kudos! I agree that yes, the New Vine soap opera loses all hope for a positive outcome, when you think in terms of years of continued failure at the expense of loyal customers, stockholders, and employees. At what point will someone realize that Katie Hoertkorn and Carol Thompson are not only Incompetent , ...they are the litmus tests for what NOT to do to succeed in our business. Shame on anyone still affiliated with this convoluted nightmare. Foreclose, shut down, game over, let's all move on, and go back to making great wine and never let out guard down again as to who the good guys really are!

Why dont they just roll over and die already so the rest of us can get on with business? They have been in trouble for a while and they NEVER made a profit (in how many years? 8?) in the first place!!! There management is still the same and it was management that got them into this mess in the first place-you know the Carol and Katie show? Anyway, even if New Vine survives this as long as those two characters are in charge New Vine wont go anywhere. Unfortunately I know what I am talking about on this score. Great info Lew!
