Trump just can't stop lying. About anything.

In his so-called 'press conference' today, one of the tidbits tossed off was a claim that 'he owned the largest winery' (I can't remember whether he said it was the largest in the US, on the East Coast' or the largest in Virginia. Doesn't really matter, because it is none of those.

If you calculate by 'acres under vine' (200 acres) it is the largest in Va. But that's not how you normally calculate the size of a winery.
You calculate by production, which puts Trump's winery at third in Va. And Va. is not even the top wine producer in the South. (Believe it or not, that honor goes to Ky.)

Also, note that the Trump winery has asked for permission to hire 29 foreign workers, because American's don't want to work there.

a winery can grow a grapes for just show in NY. Winery is a bottling plant that bottles blended wines.(to me) Do I have that right?
