This blog is maintained by Richard Gagnon, the Brattleboro Food Co-op wine and beer go-to-guy since 1992. Although I am an assiduous fact-checker, the info here-in is, occasionally, the product of my fertile, bargain-fevered imagination; and all errors, typos, and exaggeratos are mine. They do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions, and received wisdom of other Co-op staff, or our Board of Directors. Like my mom always said, if you want the facts, just the facts, watch “Dragnet.”
