"If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?

Could this be the cause of too much wine making/drinking.

Ozfazer6 - You're right, there are too many egos and people full of themselves in this industry. I am a production winemaker working in a facility with a 15 million gallon tank and 50,000 barrel capacity. No ego or limelight for me. I'm just a regular guy.

BlueMONday - No way Dude, I was talking about other people's parking. I'm kinda anal about that, just park the d*mn car in the spot already. And I never drive with even a drop of alcohol on me. Just a personal choice.

Thanks for the hard time guys!
