The Pursuit of Wine Appreciation
When I first decided to pursue the pleasures of Wine Appreciation, it became apparent that it was far more complex than one friend’s advice, which was as simple as ABC: “Always Buy Cabernet, Always Buy Chardonnay.” (He was serious.) And while a number of wine drinkers I’m chummy with are still in that paradigm, I found it too confining, too generic, and not the least bit fulfilling. But I needed a roadmap, something to guide me on how to better understand wine. The first route was sorting out and comprehending each of wine’s underlying components—acidity, sweetness, body (alcohol) and tannins. I soon realized that each of those is determined by (drum roll please!) the underlying grape from which the wine is made . And once I “learned the grape(s),” I came to understand why, say, a Merlot is unlike a Pinot Noir, which is unlike a Cabernet, which is unlike a Grenache. And the same holds for Chardonnay versus, say, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Semillon. That was crucial, inasmuch a

TTB and Consignment Sales – Is There a Disconnect Between Policy Development and Business Reality?
Last Friday, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), U.S. Treasury Department, introduced more confusion in its five years of aggressive unfair trade practice enforcement around the country. TTB issued Industry Circular 2022-1, Payment Terms Under Consignment Sales Provision, under the guise of providing guidance and clarification. The press release glowingly described the industry circular “As part of our continuing effort to ensure a level playing field and provide clarity to the alcohol beverage industry, TTB has…provide(d) additional guidance regarding payment terms under the consignment sales provisions.”

RBS ADDENDUM – THE LATEST FROM THE ABC AS THE AGENCY PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION ON THE CALIFORNIA ABC’S MANDATORY RESPONSIBLE BEVERAGE SERVER PROGRAM
To no one’s surprise, the deeper the industry (and the ABC itself) digs into the upcoming RBS program requirements, definitions, and consequences, the more detailed the nuances of the program become. The California alcoholic beverage industry is more than just waiters and waitresses – the service of alcohol cuts across every facet of California business and every type of alcoholic beverage license issued by the ABC (currently 75 discrete license types, each with different privileges and many combined with other license types for special purposes). This is the reason our original estimate of the likely number of people required to be trained was multiples of the ABC’s estimated one million.

THE STATE OF TO-GO BOOZE IN CALIFORNIA
If you have an on-sale liquor license in California, knowing whether or what alcohol you can sell “to-go” is even more confusing now than it was before Covid. During the pandemic, the California ABC relaxed rules and allowed restaurants and bars to exercise privileges – like sell sealed bottles to-go and pre-mixed cocktails or glasses of wine to-go - that weren’t allowed before. Then, as of January 1, 2022, some allowances were taken away, while others were made permanent (by way of new laws). So as an ABC-licensed California restaurant or bar, what can you do, and what can’t you do, now?
