Frank,
I think you'll get your product for Grammy just fine. BG on RB makes an excellent case for there being a fairly significant amount of product warehoused in Fresno.
In BG's report there was a comment that intrigued me. I know it might sound insignificant but it might be the answer to several of the production questions.
The comment concerned the printing of a "best if used by" date on the product. So far I have heard no mention of anyone looking at the bottle for numbers noticing this date. It would give a real big clue about when the bottle was packaged. By leaving this date off it could cause problems if a store chain refused to accept product without that information on the package and it could cause a production halt as they retooled to add that information.
As I said this could be the reason for the halt, the need to retool and the delay in stocking Ralph's. It also explains why there is still product to ship if the reorders remain small and they ran 100,000 cases before the stoppage.
We are still speculating, but BG does have some good points to ponder. It will be interesting to see if the dilution picks back up again after August 1...the beginning of a new quarter.
Have a great day!
