Victoria James, partner and beverage director of COTE Korean Steakhouse in NYC, published an article in Refinery29 about supporting local businesses during quarantine by purchasing wine. “[D]rinking right now can also be a virtuous act,” says James, “one that could save a lot of small businesses from financial ruin. By drinking a bottle you purchased from your local restaurant or wine shop, you are helping these places stay afloat during the lockdown.” Ecco published James’s memoir, WINE GIRL, on March 24, 2020.
