A Company whose owner, Bill Foley, contributed nearly $400K to Trumps campaign, owns a reasonable number of wineries in this country. I will now cease drinking any of these wines.
I will have to carry this list of wines to New World each time I buy wine. I cannot support a company which produces wine in New Zealand, where the owner is a substantial contributor to the Trump campaign. It’s my bit toward ridding the world of this monster, Donald Trump.
The wine list is:
- Mt Difficulty;
- Te Kairanga;
- Vavasour;
- Roaring Meg;
- Dashwood;
- Russian Jack, and
- Boatshed Bay;
- and Lighthouse Gin.

Thank you for the infomation. I am dropping my club membership to a winery in Sonoma recently acquired by Foley.
Actions have consequences.
(Visited New Zesland a few years ago. Hiked the Routeburn Track. Hope to return soon. )
thanks Greg – come and grab a beer at Smash Palace when you are back 🙂
Do you know if anyone in NZ that stocks Trump branded wine?
I’m keen to get a list of them together! But after having a quick google, I can’t seem to find any?!
