Indeed, it's at the expense of downsizing out of sheer necessity for lack of a larger investor who would secure those jobs for all past employees. Aside from the presuppositions, I would agree with your suspicions IF this was the reorganizing of some Wall Street backed business, but this is Maui, and it might be beneficial to err on the side of trusting the good reputation of Tedeschi Vineyards, who, when all is said and done, might actually have GOOD intentions. Still, I surely would have liked to have been the proverbial fly on the wall for the meetings that hammered this out. :) In the end, it's still a great thing that this generations-old tradition will carry on!
