Roll out the unwelcome mat!

Today we had our hearing with the county about approving our minor use permit for establishing a winery on the property. It was a very frustrating process like most government bureaucracy where people who have nothing better to do than butt into your business weild too much control. There is a group of NIMBY's who have been been trying to sabotage every winery project. If it wasn't so personal I actually would feel sorry for these folks whose lives are obviously so small and narrow that they waste precious time scheming against their neighbors.

They did not prevail today. We did receive permission to build a 2500 case winery.

When you think that this country is built on the backs of small family operated business, anyone opposing the entrepreneurial spirit is un-American - especially in challenging times like now.
