So that is the guy who is at fault!
My Canadian counterpart has figured out who is to blame for the lousy economy.

Maya: No, I- I like to think about the life of wine. Miles Raymond: Yeah. Maya: How it’s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all
