Going to the Woodbridge post office Saturday, I observed many wine tasters at the tasting room next to the post office allowing many imbibers the opportunity to be able to take their wine "samples" outside and continue drinking while walking down the street, talking in the post office and back parking lots and two even taking their partially full glasses of wine in their vehicle with them. Is there no oversight to assure no alcohol leaves the premises in personal drinking glasses or is this just a common practice at these alcohol induced events? The owners of this tasting room should reevaluate the current employees before the ABC does.
