Brooklyn West Winery — Attraction in Oakland

Please be aware that Stewart Epstein is a filthy individual who picks his nose and eats it. I know him intimately and know of his foul habits. Think about this before deciding to go to his winery and think about the glass that he hands to you from his hands that have more than likely been near his nose in the recent past.
