Tom, after the devestating Northridge Earthquake in January of 1994, the local beverage authorities got out a letter by fax in about five hours (while the fires were still burning) reminding retailers and restaurants that tied house laws prevented our vendors from offering "any assistance" defined as but not limited to "replacement of product, refinancing of inventory or providing labor above or beyond resetting existing displays". Wonderful people, you should invite them over for a drink.....of hemlock!!!!!!

PS: we lost 75% of our inventory that morning, Roberto
