FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution Josh Kopel

We see headlines everyday about immigration but there's very little talk about the immigrants themselves. The story I bring you today isn't a story about overcoming adversity, it's a story about enduring adversity.

Tee Tran represents the best our industry has to offer. Instead of fighting for the survival of his businesses over the last year he's fought for his community, working with the World Central Kitchen and getting support from big names like Steph Curry.

Today we explore one man's journey to and through hospitality and what we can all learn from his story.

Creating and maintaining a great and profitable wine program at my restaurant proved an impossible task. Folks spend their lives working to understand the intricacies of wine and I don't even drink wine. I know I'm not alone and, as we all begin the process of reopening, I wanted to bring in a friend and an expert to offer best practices.

Greg Martellotto is the guy. He's got his own winery. He's got his own direct to consumer wine business and he sells and works with some of the best restaurants in California. Today he unpacks how to conceptualize and execute a great and profitable wine program.

That's Greg Martellotto. For more on Greg's company go to www.martellotto.com
