Published accountas said some ofthe company’s ventur e capital investors effectively pulled the plug last week, by declining to investf additional capital in New Vine. “Some peopl e changed their minds at thelast minute,” said Barbaras Insel, a wine industry analyst who has served on New Vine’sw advisory board.

It now has a skeleton crew of aboutr 30 staffers at its Napa headquarters and American Canyobshipping facility, including a handful of executives who are workinfg to wind down operations.
