I was unaware that some of my food and wine from Italy was tainted with mob money…now I am educated!

Have any of you guys ever read the Wall Street Journal expose on Southern Wine and Spirits?

Daniel_Posner · October 29, 2009, 7:32pm

Southern is Jewish mafia, though!

I think it’s a good idea. I hope this will help to get the mafia less involved in the wine business. I like many wines from Sicily and would like to drink more of them without feeling bad about it.

I wonder if the mob came up with that plan. Either way, if the plan helps move wine, I think a couple of guys show up one night and convince the good folks that they need “partners”.

And then the stuff has to get through the docks on both sides of the ocean, and it needs to be trucked in. And then it needs to be rated. And then the store owners need a “sweetener” to stock it.
