Mr. Tarbox was informed by Laurent Gruet that he does not plan to go through with the purchase of the CapRock Winery despite that fact that he was the highest bidder in the previous auction for the winery held in Lubbock, Texas eariler this month.

Judge Robert Jones will hold a hearing on August 4, 2010, regarding the new auction results and any potential contest of the new auction, since the usually notice period for such procedings will not be given.
