This Sunday, Nicki and I were to celebrate our 23rd Anniversary at LLF’s Chef’s Potluck. Last time they coincided, I had 19 chefs deliver 19 bouquets. This year, Grassroots is sending LLF all of our Win Win Wine… instagram.com/p/B_VLRj8B-Dz/…
Lots of people and communities in this boat!

You’ve got that right @LindseyGrahamSC At the same time, we need to suspend the hospitality/wine tariffs from the 301 package. The 15% on Airbus is plenty in this environment and American wine importers should not have to choose between paying tariffs or making payroll. @us_wine – at Mount Pleasant, SC
Yes @LindseyGrahamSC we want to take care of our employees ourselves! – at Mount Pleasant, SC
Save the corporate slush for Phase 4 and save small business today! #WeWillRememberInNovember @senatemajldr
This is a good sign for small business everywhere!
I'm willing to pay 75 percent of people's income up to $80,000 to get us through. This ought to be enough money to get us through the next six to eight weeks.

Can you consider allowing for taxes due on Friday March 20 to be included, especially hospitality taxes and sales tax from hospitality and restaurant businesses? This is the hardest hit industry in the state and those tax payments are critical for cash flow.
20% unemployment is 32 million out of work. The devastated restaurant industry employ(ed) 15.6 million people last week. Congress needs to lead and develop a immediate relief plan for the f and b industry that makes it whole! @senatemajldr @SenatorDurbin cnn.com/2020/03/17/politics/… – at Mount Pleasant, SC
How many F and B layoffs happened in the last 7 days? I am guessing 5 million. Think about that. It’s time to get serious about rescuing the most vulnerable industry in this crisis. – at Mount Pleasant, SC

foodandwine.com/fwpro/the-wi…. Very proud to write and post this. We are all in for a tough go, it is time to suspend the Hospitality Tariffs. They amount to a destructive restaurant tax at the worst possible time. – at North Charleston, SC
Help me fight for wine jobs- from servers to importers. 100% tariffs on EU wines will kill your tip-out. gf.me/u/xcm5w2

The wine industry is responsible for thousands of jobs in Oregon. These nonsensical tariffs would have a devastating impact on Oregon wine industries, restaurants & small businesses. We cannot punish American industry through irresponsible trade retaliation. I'm fighting back.
American wine shop owners and importers already dealing with tariffs on European imports pleaded with US trade officials for relief, arguing that adding a 100% tariff on French wine and Champagne threatened by President Trump would devastate their industry cnn.it/37I6eMe
Simply put, we need restaurant industry’s voices to stop these tariffs. It’s not my problem, it’s OUR problem. @dhmeyer @beard foundation @Chef_Keller @DanielBoulud
