WHO: U.S. Department of Agriculture.
WHAT: Made grants to 298 vineyards, including $50,000 to the Ozan
Vineyard in Alabama. The owner was shocked he got the money.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The wine business isn’t exactly lacking in the
consumer base it needs to be self-sustaining. But the next time you’re
sipping on that Alabama merlot, please thank a taxpayer.
WHERE TO VENT: 202-720-2791.
