Some former Marines have gone all vino on us, and are now producing their own wine:
Introducing Jarhead Red

I haven’t had any, and am looking more for grunt-beer anyway. OTOH, the charity is worthwhile, so I may get some for that special occasion.
There’s a review at DefenseTech.

Maybe you’ll get your wish for a beer. Firestone owns a microbrewery and they put out several award winning beers. I used to buy their Double Barrel Ale when I lived in California. I doubt if their beer is available outside of California.
That’s good news!
As a Marine Mom, and a non-wine drinker, I can vouch for this brew. It’s actually quite nice. The cause for which the money donates, makes it all the better, imho! :-) Give it a whirl!
Hey! I’m married to a former Marine (although I say once a Marine always a Marine) who served from `1973 – 1977. I gotta send him this post.
