COVID-19 has devastated the restaurant business and closed down a major market for many wineries. But is there a slice of silver in this cumulus of darkness? Something good, possibly, for the average wine consumer? It seems so, as many wineries now have far too much inventory and are taking extreme measures to unload it. Jim Laughren, CWE, will show your listeners how to take advantage of the situation and create a win-win outcome for all concerned. You’ll hear about the extreme measures winegrowers are now taking, how COVID-19 will impact next year’s wines, and where consumers can find the best wine bargains. Jim Laughren is the author of “50 Ways to Love Wine More” and “A Beer Drinker’s Guide to Knowing and Enjoying Fine Wine.” Contact him at (954) 884-8539; JLaughren@rtirguests.com
