Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

#8 One of the most encouraging things I find these days in California is visiting wineries, especially the smaller ones that are family owned and operated. These people actually work for a living and the wine is good.

#9 Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting

#10 "When Wine enters, out goes the Truth."
-- Benjamin Franklin

Which is probably why for politicians in the meeting tent it's not the best idea to consume the stuff. Maybe we should arrange for designated drivers and have the 'debaters' chug a few glasses just before the camera and lights go on.

#11 Although not exactly as this story captures, another fine winery owned and operated by a US Air Force vet is Wilderotter in Plymouth, CA.
