Dear Mr. Kerr,
I write local history columns for my newspaper The Contra Costa Times in
Walnut Creek, Ca. I came across a June 3, 1932 story about the
destruction of 28,000 gallons of wines in a Martinez "bonded" winery.
Federal agents had found an illegal still on the property although the
presence all that wine was apparently legal. I trying to figure out, just
what a bonded winery could sell or make during the prohibition.
Thank you for any help you could give me.
