Standing In Solidarity

Hello friends,

At ŌMvino are always looking for ways to raise the voices of those in the industry. If you are a Server, Bartender, Porter, Barback, Executive Chef, Sommelier, or Dishwasher, Vineyard Worker, Cellar Hand or Floor Manager,  you are an essential part of a team that could not exist to the degree that it does if it weren’t for your position and your hard work & perseverance. We want to raise your voice and hear from you, that is why we have created an anonymous submission form that will allow us to pick your brain and include your thoughts in our newsletters that hit thousands of inboxes across the U.S., particularly of those in or ‘in support of’ the hospitality industry. We want to hear from you...Yeah, YOU!

We would like to know your opinion on where you think the industry is going after COVID-19? Please click HERE to submit your thoughts. We’ll highlight some of the most interesting opinions in the next newsletter.

Everyday the ŌMvino team is learning, changing, adapting, and growing as a collective and as individuals. Through the Black Lives Matter movement, we are learning how to be better, how to support our POC communities, businesses, and cohorts more. We are learning how to raise our voices in solidarity to fight for and protect the rights of a race or peoples who have been oppressed by centuries of systemic racism.

We can support by reaching out our hands to those here, in our backyards. We would like to highlight a list of black-owned wineries for you to explore and support. For a broader list of wineries and brands that you can support, please click HERE.

We want everyone to be successful?
