Tariffs update with Erlinda Doherty, D.C.-based wine and spirits industry lobbyist and advocate.

After I posted my recent chat with D.C.-based wine and spirits industry lobbyist Erlinda Doherty about the ongoing tariff war, I received scores of messages asking us to do more vlog posts.

As she recounts in the video below, she has been interacting this week with congress members and sharing the pain caused by the uncertainty of the looming import/export taxes.

She also confirmed that according to the word on the street, the wine tariffs won’t be as high as expected and they will probably be based on a country-by-country basis.

She and I are also planning on covering urgent topics in future posts: new organic labeling regulations, new dietary labeling regulations, and the neo-prohibition movement.

I know she shares my desire to help people in the wine industry navigate these challenging seas. I can’t thank her enough for making time for it. Stay tuned! Stay strong!
