An industry member can agree to a stipulated suspension prior to the initiation of a formal hearing. If an informal resolution cannot be reached, Section 204(e)(1) of the FAA Act allows for permit suspension after notice is given to the permit holder; a hearing is held; and, the agencies charges are upheld.</p><ul><li>11/07/2024 - <a href="/media/80291/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="4f09f324-051e-4783-a59d-15a8d4e1f1ff" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="March_First_Initial_Decision_Redacted.pdf">March First Manufacturing, LLC</a></li><li>10/10/2024 - <a href="/system/files/2024-10/Blue_Ox_-_Initial_Decision_-_Final_signed_DAAFO_Redacted.pdf">Blue Ox Spirits, Inc</a></li><li>07/31/2020 - <a href="/media/70074/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="cc6769a1-5da5-40a7-ae06-895d4a5ad92b" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="angels-share-suspension-signed.pdf">Angels' Share Wine Imports, LLC</a></li><li>07/31/2020 - <a href="/media/70085/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="93ad9e20-0184-4f9f-8f3b-c951a07ff06d" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="red-hook-winery-suspension-signed.pdf">The Red Hook Winery, LLC</a></li><li>07/09/2020 - <a href="/media/70076/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="831f37ce-8943-4347-99d6-466b6ead2206" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="anheuser-busch-suspension-docs_redacted.pdf">Anheuser-Busch, LLC, St. Louis, MO</a></li><li>04/11/2020 - <a href="/media/70077/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="09fb9bc3-d4ef-4fef-adc8-92e0c42e756d" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="azuma-amended-redacted.pdf">Azuma Corporation, Alturas, CA</a></li><li>03/19/2020 - <a href="/media/70073/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="58d9f238-4c3a-453b-b268-c470800898ec" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="amalie-robert-estate.pdf">Amalie Robert Estate, LLC</a></li><li>12/31/2019 - <a href="/media/70064/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="3619db4e-081e-4a70-bdfb-60791c161641" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="signed-suspension-docs1_redacted.pdf">Grape Passion, LLC, Fort Worth, TX</a></li><li>11/29/2019 - <a href="/media/70031/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="4a616ec1-f6ea-43d2-92e3-b5edae314706" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="COHO-Suspension-Agreement-redacted.pdf">COHO Wines, LLC, Napa, CA</a></li><li>11/29/2019 - <a href="/media/70032/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="3b01a415-07e5-4023-b466-caf774fb8d8b" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="Cava-Suspension-Agreement-Redacted.pdf">Cava Spiliadis, New York, NY</a></li><li>11/29/2019 - <a href="/media/70033/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="dd9e267e-b5be-49ae-826f-4b037e296ee2" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="Five-Vintners-Suspension-Decision-Redacted.pdf">Five Vinters Wines, LLC, Saint Helena, CA</a></li><li>11/29/2019 - <a href="/media/70035/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="95f9c83f-5fe6-4771-8c74-34805140bdb0" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="Three-Monkeys-Suspension-Decision-redacted.pdf">Three Monkeys Wine, LLC, Sebastopol, CA</a></li><li>11/26/2019 - <a href="/media/70034/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="114406b3-44d6-46a2-a952-eb7545a4ab85" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="Hourglass-Susp-Agreement-Redacted.pdf">Hourglass Wine Company Inc, Saint Helena, CA</a></li><li>09/27/2019 - <a href="/media/70041/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="067dea33-f1ba-4cf6-be02-9e126b926c7a" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="carabella-vineyard-suspension-documents_redacted.pdf">Carabella Vineyard & Winery LLC, Tulatin, OR</a></li><li>09/06/2019 - <a href="/media/70046/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="80af6285-4d6d-4a52-9f83-ff2082c7954b" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="grable-settlement_redacted.pdf">Grable Vineyards LLC, Calistoga, CA</a></li><li>09/03/2019 - <a href="/media/70038/download?inline" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="1f44e5c4-7428-44d1-af40-160ae00e2c7f" data-entity-substitution="media_download_inline" title="albini-suspension-documents-redacted.pdf">Owen D.
