Perhaps restricted market access vis-a-vis limited LCBO shelf space
contributed to their demise...certainly a more tempered business plan
would have been prudent. I hope they can work things out with their
lenders/investors. I have sampled many of their product line, and have
enjoyed them all... Vincor must be silently smirking! <br>
<br>
hmmm... 300 investors (300 + on Growine); $100,000.00 each...buyout the
debt & buyout the 20 Bees...contract the 20 Bees to supply their
grapes and carry on as the 20 Bees Winery Inc.... and all the while we
keep our secrete weapon ( Larry Paterson) hidden until the deal ins
done... then release LFW as our Marketing Guru (& Leader of this
group of '300') to take on the LCBO, thus ensuring Free &
Unencumbered Access to the market place... success is sure to follow (
No Greek tragedy here!)<br>
<br>
All joking aside, I sure hope they can work this out...the economy and
the markets are arguably stronger given a greater degree of free market
access and producer diversity.<br>
