What's goin' on?!?

Over the course of the last 10-12 days, there has been a massive fire in Ca - all indications are that it was arson, and most fingers are heading in this dude's direction. I'm sure it's just dumb luck that he owns a competing wine storage business and that he just happened to be in the building of Wines Central the day their place started licking flame.

North of the border, the leviathan that is Constellation Brands can't seem to keep their 'you-know-what' in their pants and are stepping up their action on Vincor. Evidently, Constellation approached Vincor at a rate of $31 (Can), to which the folks on the board of Vincor replied, "Yeah? Go suck it". And so the PR battle begins.

Constellation CEO Richard Sands said, "We have not seen any evidence that Vincor has a process to sell the company, and they have been totally resistant to share information or include us in a process."

Unless Vincor was interested in selling themselves, why the hell are they obligated to share anything with you?

And then there's this little bit:

Vincor also said that Constellation had earlier verbally presented a price indication of $36 or higher.

So the old bait and switch, heh? Sweet.

Unfortunately, I think we already know the way this thing is going to end. As one fellow tradesman put, 'Constellation gets what Constellation wants'. Sad but true.

This is only confirmed by Constellation's recent acquisition of Rex Goliath. Not familiar with it, you say? Just wait. It will be in every grocery store imaginable before you know it. That way it doesn't matter which shitty CA wine the monkeys buy, Constellation wins. Love Ravenswood, even though it is a shadow of its former self? They've got you covered. Use to love Ravenswood until it sold out to the man and drink only Pinot Noir since that 'great' movie came out? Don't worry about it.

For the love of God, when will it end?
