With all due respect to Walter S. Taylor, owner of Bully Hill Winery, the
reason that Coca-Cola won the suit which required him to delete his name from
his product is that Coca-Cola bought Taylor Wines (before they sold them to
Seagrams) from Walter S. Taylor and his father.  In that transaction they sold
the company name as well.

Bully Hill Vinyards has probably received more free publicity by having to
delete the name Taylor from their bottles (they read:  Bully Hill Vinyard,
Walter St-----) than he could have engineered otherwise.
