Yeah, I'd be really interested to see the total consumption variation between the increase in direct consumer purchase vs. the decrease in restaurants.
I have some friends that moved up to Santa Rosa in April and they've spoken to several wineries that were hurting. Add into it the fires up there and the northern CA wine industry is going to be hurting for a few years. There is going to be a big shortage of red wines from the Napa area in 2020. Most were still on the vine and got smoke taint (I hate typing that word). Cab, Merlot, Zin, and a lot of Pinot makers are calling people from different regions just to get a vintage out.
Sorry for going way off topic. Not much Hawks news aside from the Athletic taking a fan survey and reporting that everyone hates Colliton and Stan, and its' one of the few things in which I have both interest and knowledge.
Cheers everyone!

A lot of the fans identified over at The Athletic who hate both Stan and Colliton, are likely more ignorant or limited than smart when it comes to deciphering the job and circumstances Stan and Colliton faced. Not saying they are without faults, but the hatred exposes their lack of proper evaluation.
