"The New York Foundling Partners with City Winery to Create Custom-Labeled Rosé for Foster Care Awareness Month" (May 2018)
“We hope everyone will head down to City Winery and check out the 23 restaurants and bars across the City that will be offering our Rosé,” said Bill Baccaglini, CEO of The New York Foundling. “We are thrilled to partner with City Winery this May and to increase awareness on the ways we can all support children in foster care.”
In addition to visiting the restaurants selling our wine, you can purchase by the bottle ($20/bottle) online at www.citywinery.com/foundlingrose.
“This 2017 Rosé of Syrah from North Coast, CA is a sophisticated dry Rosé containing ample stone fruit and white floral aromas with a crisp elegant finish,” City Winery describes. The label was custom-designed by Sam Peach. https://www.nyfoundling.org/blog/new-york-foundling-partners-city-winery-create-custom-labeled-rose-foster-care-awareness-month/

Barrels for Benefit
We all receive so many requests to help out good causes, often through donations to their auction events. City Winery has created a unique, fun and rewarding program that enables our investors and barrel owners to make a significant contribution, at no cost to themselves or the organization of their choice.
Here’s How it Works
1. The non-profit organization helps arrange for a Celebrity, Chef, Musician, key person associated with the charity, etc., to endorse a barrel of wine, and to sign custom wine labels.
2. The organization will receive 240 bottles (20 cases) of high quality City Winery-produced wine with custom labels signed by the endorsee.They can sell or auction the whole barrel, each case or each bottle.
3. Depending on the endorsee and the organization’s patrons, the wine is expected to sell for at least $100 per bottle, a gross of $24,000.
4. City Winery will provide the wine, bottling, custom labeling, storage and shipping, for its cost of $8,000, which will be subtracted from the proceeds of the sale. The organization has no upfront costs.
5. Labels can be created, signed and sold or auctioned before the wine is bottled.

Track ALL suicides.
Example 1:
Think Spade.
Trace to Children Foundation(s) (NY).
Trace to Import/Export.
Trace from China/MX to Long Beach.
Trace sale/spin off of Co.
Trace to CF.
Trace to Port (Security Clearance Profile (L5)).
Rosé is a Port wine. http://www.wineguy.co.nz/index.php/81-all-about-wine/855-rose-port
North Coast, CA is 7.5 hours from Long Beach, CA
I'm not finding a China/Mexico connection, but might they purchase their barrels from these locations?
While City Winery is springing up in other cities, it was none other than Bill Clinton who made an appearance at this particular City Winery in 2016! https://still4hill.com/2016/01/04/meet-president-bill-clinton-january-6-at-city-winery-nyc-get-tickets-here/
While we already know how the art world is being used to traffic children, what about wine barrels? Are they using them to auction and ship children?

Security at the Port of Long Beach is the multi-jurisdictional responsibility of many government agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, Customs & Border Protection, state and federal Homeland Security offices, the Long Beach Police Department, and the Port’s own Harbor Patrol. These agencies work in close cooperation to secure the Port’s containers, terminals and coastline
The Port’s partner agencies include: * City of Long Beach Police Department: http://www.longbeach.gov/police/default.asp * Customs and Border Protection: http://www.cbp.gov/ * Department of Homeland Security: http://www.dhs.gov/index.shtm * United States Coast Guard: http://www.uscg.mil/

Fascinating! Could certainly be the main port they're using. Sounds like there would be a lot of people who are on the take.
Here are wine barrels for sale that are produced in Mexico https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/MX/oak-barrel.html (It even has the MX abbreviation that Q used)
Here's a website discussing wine barrels and it says to make them in the US, it's $25/hour - including employee benefits. So, it's definitely cheaper to have them manufactured in Mexico and have them shipped in. Spent barrels are sold for about $50 each. https://www.winesandvines.com/features/article/155293/The-Economics-of-Wine-Barrels

Every time I see "Long Beach" written, I think of this analytical product: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~winterfe/A%20Risk%20and%20Economic%20Analysis%20of%20Dirty%20Bomb%20Attacks%20on%20the%20ports%20of%20Los%20Angeles%20and%20Long%20Beach.pdf

Wow. I wouldn't think Long Beach would be a target, but they do.
