How A Willamette Valley Winemaker Is Reacting to COVID-19 | Eater
"A tasting room and shared winemaking facility in the Willamette Valley that hosts around ten independent winemakers, this space functions as both a retail hub and a practical production site. Pandemic-related closures forced the tasting room to shut and led to layoffs, disrupting the collaborative operations—particularly mobile bottling services that require close coordination and now pose social-distancing challenges—and jeopardizing on-site sales and events that many small producers rely on. Its role as a communal facility means its struggles have ripple effects for local growers and the independent-winemaker community." - Brianne Day
