Barndiva, California
Chappy Cottrell, wine director of Old World wine specialist Barndiva in Healdsburg, is currently selling nearly 600 wines, including DRC, from the restaurant’s cellar on The Virtual Sommelier website, which now doubles as an online wine shop. Cottrell believes the site to be a “game changer” during these unprecedented times.
“It makes it super easy to upload your entire wine list as a PDF, set your discount prices, and make your mark-up of how high you want to go,” Cottrell told Wine Spectator. He is selling the majority of the wines for 20% less than their list price.
