The proposed conference call from Samantha Carrington of Wine Care raises a number of questions.

First, who is Ms. Carrington?  She appears no where in the Wine Care materials that are on line.

Of greater significance is that the conference call may well be nothing more than a ploy to deflect focus on the bad conduct of Wine Care and its principals.

If Wine Care were serious about addressing the issues, they would take the following actions:

a.  Permit a committee of storage customers to inspect the premises;

b.  Provide copies of all applicable insurance policies; and

c.  Have Linbacher submit to depositions by an attorney of the committees choosing.  It is patently absurd to rely on their facile statements.  We need statements under oath.

Finally, I would propose that in lieu of sending payments to Wine Care we put the money in an attorney's escrow account.
