I wish them all the best. There are some heavy hitters who have wine there who got lawyers weeks after Sandy and they have not been able to make any progress. Keith McNally sued them for $3 million as early as January and says he has 1500 cases stored there.

I know that it's small potatoes, but I do hope that publication of this horrific clusterfuck of a situation will give pause to those people whining about their PC pre-orders not being fulfilled.

WineCare went into Chapter 7 liquidation on Monday.

And, as I noted on another board, the judge comes across as a jerk and the reporting is sloppy.

I especially loved the line "The wealthy clients of a troubled high-security wine storage cellar in West Chelsea will not be getting back their 27,000 cases of valuable wine in time for the holidays." Unfortunately for the one person I know who stored there that does not, in fact, mean that the middle class customers of Wine Care will be getting their wine.

I guess we have a new version of the classic NYT headline:
"World Ends; Wealthy Won't Get to Enjoy their Wine"
