A few weeks before Hill filed for bankruptcy in May 2014, two federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau agents met with Hill and others at the winery on the Silverado Trail, according to a letter filed during Hill Wine’s bankruptcy proceedings…
According to the summary of the meeting, the TTB agents made a series of allegations against Hill, including that Hill had sold Lake County wine as Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon; Sonoma Coast wine as Napa Valley Chardonnay; and grapes from Lodi as Napa Valley fruit.
Could anyone taste the difference? What did his wines sell for?
