A future Episcopal Bishop Fulton J. Sheen wins a prize for her precocious broadcasting abilities, and you know what her reward in part consists of? A bottle of "union-made wine." What on earth? Chateau de Gompers? Feh.

I am shocked that you are indifferent to impoverished black lesbians in wheelchairs suffering in the heat. I to am suffering in the heat. This just drives me into an oenophilic binge, Riesling of course from Gainey Vinyards. Hmmm, I wonder if the Grapes are Union picked? Do I drink the wine before I know? Oh well, cheers.
Am I the only one who notices more that this means they gave a 17-year-old a bottle of wine as a gift? As the drinking age is 21 isn't this kind-of a weird gift? Is it even legal?
I don't understand the reference to Bishop Sheen. Is that because he was a great communicator, and she is an up-and-coming communicator?
Regardless, it seems like wine made by workers paid a just wage is exactly the sort of thing you'd champion, Rod, along the lines of Polyface Farms and other such small businesses.
Hey Rod, you were the one who said that unions in the wine industry was bad, not me.
