been plenty raucous before and nothing was said.
I read the Yelp reviews after this happened and one person said in 2005 that she was with her cousin and they drank a Lot and stumbled down the stairs to the bathroom and licked their plates.. and no one even glanced at them.
She "finds it sad that in 2015 we're still dealing with racist people." That's how this is being perceived and it would seem the evidence is only mounting.
And, WOW..
"In addition to the Twitter uproar, the Napa Valley Wine Train’s Yelp page was soon bombarded with negative reviews over its treatment of the women. One reviewer, who claimed to be on the same train as the removed party but did not respond immediately to request for comment, posted that “I'd like to think it wasn't a racially motivated act, but given the fact that other, non-black guests were behaving in the same way and not removed, I can only conclude that it was discrimination.”
Reading the older reviews before The Book Club's forced exit..
That's what should have happened.. the ones who complained should have been reseated!
And the UPDATE!
Update, Aug. 24, 2015, 9:30 p.m.: Giaccio has apologized to Johnson and invited her and her friends to return to the train as his personal guests, says public relations representative Sam Singer.
Singer, a self-described crisis communications specialist, also said the company was going to take up Johnson on a suggestion that it does additional sensitivity training.
“The Napa Valley Wine Train is open to anybody of any persuasion, any color, any day of the week,” Singer said. “This incident was out of character with the train company, and is not reflective of the train or Napa Valley whatsoever.”
Yeah, that's the damn problem.. it hasn't happened before. Wonder if the maître d train is fired?
On being invited back as personal guests of Gracccio means they can have as much fun and be as loud as they want to be.. I bet they're scared over there at Napa Wine Train Ride. 
Mahalo for the article, Gen!
