It'll be too bad to give up the gewurtztrauminers, but some things are more important than wine.
I can overlook a small differential in the donations of the companies that I buy from, but an 82% to 18% split in favor of the republicans is something I can't overlook...

5. Ste. Michelle always has good quality wines. |
|
But I've already stopped buying from them. It hurts, but there are many other great wineries out there that aren't working toward our destruction.
