I sure wish that they’d give me this stuff instead of just tossing it. A local restauranteur (with alleged mob ties) has done the same. What a shame, what a waste. They could have just sold that to someone, lowering the market price for those who don’t confuse Patriotism with rabid Nationalism, and then not bought anymore.

To what address do we send the NY Harbor statue back?

Call me a cynic (“You cynic!”!) but somehow I suspect they bought some knock-off, skunky stuff that ‘fell off the back of a truck’ that nobody with 2 functioning taste buds or working gastro-intestinal tract would ingest on a bet or blind drunk, so they’ve opted for a cheap publicity stunt to offload it.
Either that, or they’ve decided to jettison good wine they’ve already paid for, out of the purest altruism and “patriotism”. Yeah, right.
It’s getting harder and harder to under-estimate people.
