In The News: Floridians Make Wine, Who Knew?

• Florida has wineries. Did you know that? We sure didn't. The Sunshine State has 800 acres of vineyards. So we're not going to challenge California anytime soon, but given the rain, bugs, humidity, and hurricanes, that's not too shabby. The grapes are ripening just about now. [St Petersburg Times]

• Kosher vending machines, now available at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. Expect them at PBI in another year or so. [New York Times]

• Leaked FTC documents detail Whole Foods' plot to take over the world. Well, maybe not the world, but definitely the high-priced organic food market. In these documents is the name used internally to describe the purchase of Wild Oats: "Project Goldmine." [New York Times]
