Number 1: Can Campari Strike Spritz Gold Again?
Adam, Joanna, and Zach ponder Grupo Campari's latest stateside foray into the spritz space - SARTI Rosa. Can this new aperitivo further expand their hold on the spritz category? Why do they think this flavor (blood orange, mango, passionfruit) and color (pink) are the right ones for the market? Is it kind of weird to be launching a spritz in September?

Number 2: White Wine is Booming. Can American Producers Pivot?
Joanna and Zach discuss how American winemakers and grape growers should react to consumer preferences swinging more towards white wines and more decisively away from full-bodied red wines. While the latter have been the backbone of the domestic industry at all price levels, will changing tastes, changing foodways, and changing conditions force US producers to not just make more white wine, but make more high-end white wine?

Number 3: Where's the Market for Weird Spirits?
Joanna and Zach are joined by VinePair spirits editor Aaron Goldfarb to discuss the rise of so-called "weird" spirits, particularly unusual or unexpected flavors in established categories like gin, vodka, and whiskey. Who is the target market for these bottles: curious consumers, bartenders, or what? Will spirits that are targeted at a very specific cocktail or food pairing find a home on back bars or is that a tough sell to bars that are used to a more DIY approach?

Number 4: Is Closing Early a Crime?
Adam and Joanna respond to a couple of hospitality hot takes: first, is it a betrayal of your customers to close earlier than your posted hours, even if business is slow? With labor costs at an all-time high, how should a restaurant or bar balance the need to remain cost-efficient with the fact that few things can turn off a potential customer more than showing up during posted hours only to be told that the kitchen is closed or the establishment itself has called it for the night? Secondly, if you go out with friends who turn out to be bad guests or tippers, should you just not ever go out with them again?

Number 5: Secret Wine Lists: Savvy or Shady?
Joanna and Zach are joined by VinePair managing editor Hannah Staab to discuss the merits and ethics of the "secret" wine list: special bottles that for one reason or another aren't listed normally, but might be available if you know the right person or ask the right question (or stalk the wine bar on Instagram). Is this a harmless and fun way to reward wine lovers and devotees, or is it yet another way to promote snobbery and elitism within wine?
