Family ties to Bootleggers or Mafia ??

Basically all the "dry" counties (where bars aren't allowed) all have long standing traditions of moonshine that generally have the sheriff in their pocket. NASCAR is a straight by-product of bootlegging, as is the term "Mountain Dew".
I worked for this guy and his right hand man (general manager) was a retired county judge (in NC). At a meeting in his office one day he told me to open the bottom cupboard of this bureau. Inside were jars of homemade shine and schnapps. At first I was a little nervous, not knowing if he was testing me or what, but then he said his family has always made their own. And some of it wasn’t too bad. Just a part of the culture.
