So much for the cause of democratizing wine. At New York State’s wineries, the result is about what you would expect:
“I could take them to six vineyards and get everyone plastered, but my goal is not to have them drink like it’s party town,” said Mr. Ferrarie, whose company has provided transportation for 73 bachelorette events this year. “They ask if the limos are stocked with liquor or if they can bring a cooler of beer on the bus. I tell them, ‘You’re on your way to a winery. This isn’t a moving bar.’”
The wineries in VA now sell themselves as family-fun destinations and go out of their way to cater to non-oenophiles (while offering rather less to those with skilled noses and learned palettes). Isn’t this the obvious result?
