I, myself, and my SO have been doing everything possible to keep the wine sales and winery's profitable every night of the last 50+ years.

gonna be set back 100 years, one damn “democrat” has so much power to run the Senate and the POTUS agendas just because he says no.

I don't have much hope for the future

My dream is that I reach my 80s before Climate Change makes the world 100% unlivable and then go out with my final words being "I told you so"
