No Wine Left Behind
Some film makers sent us a trailer about a groupof veterans who are taking on the wine industry. The film is entitled “No Wine Left Behind“. I’ll let them explain;
We have just completed a short documentary about the experiences of Iraq War veterans and are enlisting the help of bloggers to get it out into the world!
The film is called NO WINE LEFT BEHIND and is about an Iraq War hero leading a ragtag group of veterans as they try to conquer the wine industry. The film follows them as they build their new winery, which has become an informal place where returning veterans can find a job, camaraderie, and a sense of purpose.
We think the film has an important message and others agree. The film has been endorsed by the Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans, Swords to Ploughshares, Farmer Veterans Coalition and more.
“No Wine Left Behind is a film that can inspire other veterans to harness the power of peer support and motivate the public to do their part to support returning veterans.” – Amy Fairweather, Policy Director, STP

My wife is an Iraq vet and a wine snob…she’s going to love this.
Maybe they’re taking a page from the FFL? I know they make their own wine at their retirement home where some FFL Vets go.

This is cool
The winery is up and running. The film is short: 15 minutes. It all looks good to me.
OMG- this is an “alcohol related incident”. This type of activity will be “strongly discouraged” and will be banned from any and all DOD outlets. Soldiers will now be counseled before ETSing to not go into any alcohol related field. Your counselor will make you initial the “No wine before its time” block.
PS- where can I get a case?
@5. Beretverde: you can order wine directly from the guys at:

Hmmm…my wife and I are “wine snobs”, and if any of their vino turns up at one of the tastings we attend (usually at least one a week), I’ll provide a review.
No, I’m not Robert Parker or “Wine Enthusiast”, but I know a little bit about the grape.
I wish them luck…they are jumping into a very tough and competitive industry.
