My wife grew up in the same town and was a couple of years behind John, but in a school and town that size everyone knows everyone.
John gave us a wonderful personal tour of the winery a few years back when we went for our first Napa visit. I do agree with you, the winery (and the story of its founding) make for an interesting visit.
Sorry, did not see this a few months ago.
Yes, John is a fraternity brother of mine from Cornell. Great guy. Have also spent a lot of time in upstate obviously -- my wife is also from Ithaca, so I've spent lots of time up there.
