Wineries in Virginia, an amazing credit to the free market and to the Virginia economy in the Piedmont, can no longer sell directly to wine shops, restaurants, and grocers thanks to a state ABC board decision.
Who wins? Jim speculates, but it’s pretty clear who loses. Wineries and small family-owned business take a direct shot, especially those getting started in the business. Such a decision crushes entrepreneurship, and should be reconsidered by the ABC board before General Assembly does the thinking for them.
