Seriously, don't you think section 2 of the 21st amendment has caused more headaches than all of the tequila shots since 1933?

How about a disclaimer that you're employed by #3? Or better yet, a recusal for conflict of interest? Not trying to bust you here, Tom, but one of those things is not like the others...

Alder,
Good point. Appellation America is a client.

Well hell, Tom, while we're busting you, I'll pile on: All those things in one COUNTY??

#3 does not belong there; you work for them!
Strange how my own list does not have one that you list.
#1 for me, for example, would be Availability of the World's Best Wines. No where else in the world can you purchase or drink at a restaurant (in the biggest cities) so many top wines from simply everywhere.
