Mr. Frank J. Landi, Sr.: Thank you for your sincere and heartfelt post. Yes, you are right when you say we all post in a veil of anonymity here on this bulletin board. You are also correct when you refer to us as ignorant fools. We are fools when we invest our dollars in corporate entities we know little about. Even when we do what we believe to be due diligence, there is still much we don't know and can't know because we just don't have access to all pertinent information. So, yes, we are ignorant. The important point I want to make is, that we need your input to relieve our ignorance. Otherwise all we have is what is provided by others' posts on boards such as this. I have never had the pleasure of visiting the Antogianni winery. I'm just a man trying to make investment decisions based upon all he can learn within reason. I'm not a big investor, just a little investor; a "littleman" as described by poster, William 1 who trips to Italy several times a year. From his responses to my questions, all I have received is insult and ridicule. This does nothing to increase my support for the company.......any company. Other comments lead me to believe that William is also associated with the company as more than a shareholder capacity. It makes for a very suspicious connection. It's also puzzling to ask questions to the company and to Zangani, Inc. as instructed by the company, do so, and get no response from them. I have even asked for information regarding the securing of a vintner's permit so your wine could be shipped to my state. I've asked for instructions on how to purchase your wine. I was informed that I would have to purchase it in NY because you couldn't ship it to me. I was also told that you are not restricted any more than any other wine seller. If this is the case, why can't you ship out of NY? I do not understand. I have read the vintner permit application and I see no problems, no red tape, no restrictions. The only requirement is that you have someone in my state with a permit to receive and that costs $100.00. I have $100.00. Can't we discuss this? I want to sell your wine in my state. Can't we work this out? Again, Mr. Landi, thank you for your post.
