Adam, Joanna, and Zach expand on the topic of <a href="https://vinepair.com/articles/vp-podcast-scourge-of-massive-wine-lists/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">massive wine lists</a> and respond to some criticism, then chat about the fact that private dining spaces have become absolutely critical to success for restaurants and even cocktail bars in the current landscape.
