• Are Craft Cocktail Programs Helping or Hurting Bars and Restaurants?

  Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to a recent piece stating that craft cocktail programs are killing bars. Are the hidden labor and ingredient costs too much for most bars and restaurants to offset? Does the need for highly skilled and well-trained bartenders make aspiring to cutting edge cocktail programs too big a lift for most establishments? If so: what is actually reasonable to expect from most bars and restaurants?

  Adam, Joanna, and Zach debate a recent piece about sommeliers posting shots of the bottles they've sold on social media.

If it is bad, what could wine bars and restaurants do instead to satisfy the endless demand for social content?
