Nahale-a: Could you, please, briefly describe your business for us? Dreimann: The primary part of my business is to invest in rarities associated with wine, held its own, but it expanded to actually take care of some resorts with members to supply them with wines otherwise not available on a direct basis from a wholesale distributor or anywhere else. That has now expanded to me providing lectures on wine and differences of why something may cost more than something else. Finally, this application is to add liquor, to make it a general wholesaler because this has become more and more successful. People are coming to find rare tequilas and scotches that, again, are even rarer to find than some of the wines. While this is not a primary part of the business of investing in wine, which appreciates in time, it is a service I will provide to the resorts. This is not something I'm personally interested in; $30,000 bottles of scotch is not what I, whatever I open up and let evaporate is in my closet. And I'm sorry, just as a sideline to all the conversation here, the Commission may not have come across (this), but one of the latest things being done by resorts all over the country is: if there is a curfew for noise, and they can no longer party and dance after that, a person has now invented and is renting out something called the silent disco. Some of you may have heard of this, but I think it is totally brilliant. They wear headphones and only they hear the music. There are three different sets of lights on the headphones and you dance with someone that matches the light on your headphone so only the two of you can hear it. You see this whole silent dance floor with people dancing and there's no noise complaint. I'm always amazed how brilliant people come up with solutions. So sorry guys, you can no longer complain about noise with silent discos. Nahale-a: Thank you. There is no one here, but is there any public testimony for this application? There was no public testimony. Nahale-a: Commissioners, discussion or questions of testifier? Gonzalez: There's been no changes to the report? Nahale-a: I apologize. Dreimann: No, there's no changes. Gonzalez: Thank you. Hughes: Just a question for you. Dreimann: Yes? Hughes: You only sell to members of the resorts? Dreimann: Yes, really only to the resorts. The resorts themselves will sometimes have a hotel guest that says to them, `I wish you had such and such.' I will usually get a phone call, sometimes late in the evening, someone saying, `hey, can you help us out? Someone wants a specific vintage of a rare wine,' and I usually can.
