BC Wine Weekly: Regulatory Changes, Impact, & Tasting Room Re-opening

Al Hudec of Farris Law and Mark Hicken of the Vintage Law Group join us to discuss their view on the impact of Covid-19, changes coming in Ontario, regulatory changes they’d like to see, and what else the BC Wine Institute can be doing. As well, of course, we talk about re-opening.

As well, there’s a Q&A at the end with lots of great discussion.
