Here's a blast from the past that might help to understand the relationship between William I and Araldica, particularly with Matthew:

If you have not visit the winery I would suggest that you keep your
ignorant comment to your politics ( scary to know that you might be a
voter.
You obviously travel vie TV ..... what a trip.... what a life.....
I went to Italy ....I visit the winery ..... and you cannot be any
further from reality.
Nobody on this thread is realizing the potential of this winery and what
it represent.
All I have to say AWLT is way undervalued.

Here we go again....
1) Read the email carefully and you will see that what was said was
about "C. Riley" NOT all of you! YOU were never called ignornat fools!
2) Not all of you (us) post in a veil of anonymity, some of us have the
real information on our personal profiles. Not to mention, once again,
it was said to "C. Riley", not to you.
3) William 1 IS NO MORE THAN A STOCKHOLDER! I know him and he is not
involved with the company, he is just a stockholder. NO MORE, NO LESS.
4) I will speak to Adrian and mention all your concerns. She was either
very busy or out of the office. She is good about returning phone calls.
Remember we are not her only client.
The ONLY question we (as a company) have been asked that has not been
anwsered is about the vinters permit. We are busy with other aquisitions
and projects at this point in time (namely getting the audit completed).
We will, at somepoint in time, deal with it.
This seems to be a point of confusion for alot of people: NO mail order
wine company can ship to a state where they do no hold a State Liquor
Lisc. This is mandated by both the Federal Goverment and all State
Goverments. As I understand it the vinters permit will allow us to ship
to you, and you sell it. THAT'S NOT WHAT WERE IN BUSINESS FOR!
We are working on ways of dealing with the laws, but unlike a number of
our competeors, we will not break the law or risk having a shipment
siezed in transit.
Last, once again, all request for information about the company or
comments to it, are to be sent to it at [araldica@idsi.net]. I said I
would try and straighten out any problems if time allowed. I am not
going to deal with this stuff on a daily (or weekly) basis. I don't have
the time for this, email it to the company and I will pass it on to
whomever it is directed to.
Ned, your post (this time) will be passed on to Frank J. Landi, Sr.
I basically anwsered most of the comments (as I will tell him) but if he
decides to respond further I will email it to you.
People can always call, fax or write to Araldica. Go to the home page [
araldica.com] and go to the Contacting Araldica page. Most of
you have NEVER contacted the company (Ned I know you have and don't mean
that comment to you). I check the email a few (hundred) times a day,
seven days a week. I respond to much of it, and only a few members of SI
have ever emailed the company directly. To those who have, in most
instances I emailed a response back within a day.
I'm sorry to have taken up so much of everyones time with this but I
felt it need to be said again.
