Robert Dahl and Imad Tofilis, the two ambitious entrepreneurs, were living their dreams.

Robert himself running the show.

And Imad, silent partner, providing the money.

But what Imad didn't know was partnerships with Robert Dahl had a way of turning sour.

Remember Robert's first vineyard, the one he shared with Dominic Fapoli?

One day, Dominic got a phone call from their lender.

His life savings and reputation were on the line.

He had to get rid of Dahl.

Fipoli got control of the vineyard, but he had to pay Dahl to go away.

He was bitter.

And it turns out, Fopoli wasn't the only one.

Steve Birch knows he's a winemaker who worked for Dahl.

Back when Dahl looked like he was the golden boy of wine country, Birch introduced him to celebrities.

For the comic and TV personality Adam Carolla, he bottled a sangria called Mangria.

And there was the rapper E-40.

You a loser?

He had Dahl package some wines for his label, Earl Stevens Wines.

And there was Birch himself.

Can you give me a ballpark?

The same thing happened to Dahl's friend, electrician Miles Davis.
