Drink Local (thats why for the most part we only carry our own)

Everybody throws on at least a Beringer White Zin and a Mondavi Coastal Merlot or whatever, just to make it easy for the people who insist on that kind of wine. Just about everybody lets Brown-Forman pressure them into carrying a lot of Bolla and Fetzer.

I do not believe they are guilty of the above.

Mark, unless things have changed a lot since back in the late '80s and early '90s, when I used to judge at the GABF, they have separate categories that only fit "industrial" beer, and let those guys compete agains their peers and only against their peers. This seemed to make everyone happy. GABF got good money from CoorsBudMiller as sponsors, and they didn't have to embarrass themselves by competing against micros. I doubt this situation has altered much.Drink Local (thats why for the most part we only carry our own)
Works for me, a lot of the time! I might say "drink artisanal," though ... there's some great local stuff and some great American micros from other parts of the nation and some imports out there, too. But life's too short to drink bad beer (or wine).

It was a breath of fresh air and really made me smile.
Corbett's is so incredibly well-done and elegant that it has the potential to become pretenious- which I really don't care for- but it's clear that Dean's not going to ever let this be the case. Hurrah!
