I’ve always thought that it would be unwise to argue with a Parisian chef. Our super delicious Wine to Know this week is a nod in that direction. I’ve written a number of times on the subject of frustratingly high prices for wine in many restaurants. In my Blog this week, I talk about the repercussions such prices are having on both the wine and hospitality industries. Would you drink water with your steak?? This week’s Numbers are especially fascinating. Who knew about Prosecco, right? And don’t miss the True / False! Finally, if you’ve always wanted to take a wine class, but don’t have the time, I’ll create a class for you, and we’ll do it over Zoom. It’s fun, easy, and a great excuse to gather a few friends to join in. See Exceptional Opportunities for how it works.
