A toast to Jerry

[Jackie]

I enjoyed his writing and was privileged to publish his column online for many years.

Jerry was truly a force to be reckoned with and was fearless in taking on the neo-prohibitionists, wholesalers and other political/economic interests he felt were stifling the wine industry. At the same time, he befriended and respected anyone who sincerely enjoyed wine.

He is still greatly missed by folks like me who learned from him and loved his quirky curmudgeonly personality. I still think of the closing line he used so often in his emails... "to be continued".

Don't we wish.

P.S. Bucko --- Love to Wallace!
