Wine Shortage May Be Limited, Overhyped

Elise Thatcher

There’s a wine shortage… and it could get worse. So predicts a recent report by banking giant Morgan Stanley. The report blames bad weather and other factors for a looming shortage of fine wines. What is not clear is if the forecast is right. At least one financial writer calls the report a ploy to boost certain investments. Aspen Public Radio’s Elise Thatcher talks with Aspen sommelier Tim Baldwin, Assistant Food and Beverage Director at The Little Nell in Aspen. First, she asked him what his take is on the wine shortage.

Note: The Little Nell, element47, and Ajax Tavern reopened Saturday, November 2nd. All were closed during a two week, state mandated liquor license suspension. The Little Nell had served alcohol to a minor twice this year. Tim Baldwin says they’ve now beefed up their training to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
