Peak Wine?

Apparently, the work culture of over-hustling & over-imbibing is coming to an end & VC's are taking note. Too many incidents have resulted in a backlash that is manifesting in a shift towards socializing for business in a setting which serves high-end non-alcoholic beverages. Wellness has become the new "cool." It will be interesting to see how this will play out here in the "wine country."

Before the term "wine country" was used by the wine industry, I moved here to the "Redwood Empire," which is why "wine country" is so insulting and offensive.. I drink wine, but it does not define me, or this wonderful Redwood Empire.
