have you seen the film Sideways? it was actually filmed at vinyards in 'wine country' CA.
but the vinyards/movie producers didn't want to use the actual names --One vinyard, it vintages better known as being below box wine quality, was renamed Frass Farms..
Frass.. where have i heard that word before?

<<whoosh>>
To 'give someone a shellacking' is 'old; slang for 'finishing someone off,' as in boxing or street brawling. I suppose, and I will no doubt stand corrected, that the use stems from the fact that shellac is a wood finish. It is made of a kind of frass.
