The newspaper I used to write for has a story today on local drinkers, liquor and wine stores affected by the recession: http://www.the-signal.com/news/article/11184/

Vino 100 Valencia owner Lil Lepore is well quoted. (The store’s unnamed co-owner is Shari Frazier) One of the statements Lil made to support wine drinkers is that even though affected by recession, we are still comforted by wine at the end of the day. It made me feel warm and fuzzy too here at 6:49 am, sans wine so far. If you are local it’s worth a look. (If you’re from another local wine store you may also wonder why the newspaper only interviewed one wine store owner…?)
