That's when the real hard work set in, because the first initial bloom of the early days was off. We had lots of wine to sell. The wine business had its ups and downs. We had some distributors who went out of business. That's when the whole wine business came of age across the state. There were wineries failing, and-- Hicke: The tax laws changed. Firestone: Yes, the tax laws changed. And that's when it just turned into afortunately, we still liked it, even with ups and downs. But I just did it ...day in and day out. And always enjoyed it. It was never that hard. You know, talking to you now, it's absolutely amazing. I look back over twenty years, and you say, "How were the mid-eighties?" Well, the mid-eighties were pretty bad, but it didn't seem so at the time. [laughter) Hicke: You didn't know they could be any better? Firestone: I was just working like hell, and the family had grown up, and we had a lot of fun and did a lot of things. We'd have different ideas of success and failures, 100 cases in Lubbock, the distributor would go out of business in Minnesota, and we just kept putting it together one day at a time.
