Special Feature

The owner of this Washington State restaurant is doing a remarkable job promoting and selling wine — in one of the world’s best public multiplex cinemas!

With 110+ wines by the glass available and more than 500 other wines, this establishment sold more than $1 million in wine during its first full year of operation. Here’s how it does it…

Winery of the Year

During the past few years, this Monterey winery has produced wines that are very consistent in quality, reasonably priced, and distinctive in character. Today, it produces around 45,000 cases of wine from 5 primary varietals, many bearing the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.

2007 On-Premise Wine Forecast

What do we expect this year on-premise with respect to wine? Another good year, with specific types of wines benefiting from trends-in-progress.
