2007 has started off as a real bummer. We've been hospitalized, rehabbed, flu-ed, deelayed, missed our Puerto Rico trip, you name it. Anyway, February is looking up, slowly. The 2006 sauce will be bottled this week and we should have 300 to 350 cases ready to go. We have some interest from a New York State distributor that would certainly expand our selling horizon.

Here's a strory about standing up for peace that I recently took note of:

The Army maintained that the duty to refuse an illegal order, established at the Nuremberg Trials and enshrined in the Universal Code of Military Justice, applies only to orders to commit particular criminal acts like executing a prisoner. But in Watada, Resister, a January 27 video by New America Media's Curtis Choy, Watada says that responsibility "doesn't just include individual war crimes. It includes the greatest crime against the peace, which is, as they determined after Nuremberg, wars of aggression, wars that are not out of necessity but out of choice for profit or power or whatever it may be."
"To stop an illegal and unjust war, the soldiers can choose to stop fighting it.... If soldiers realized this war is contrary to what the Constitution extols--if they stood up and threw their weapons down--no President could ever initiate a war of choice again," he said.

Reminds me of some union guys I used to hang with who understood that sometimes, when all else failed, you put down your tools and took a walk.

I feel a margarita on the mind!
