GIRLCOTT | why call it a boycott anyway? this bottle of 2012 niagara chardonnay will be my last by this producer for quite some time. as i return to canada from vacay i come back with mixed emotions about someone i had considered an ally in the wine community. admittedly, guilt is part of it, because i’d previously heard rumblings, but like others have said, “it wasn’t my story to tell”. concern with a splash of empathy is another part – how do we continue to coexist peacefully in the world knowing he (and others yet to be flagged) probably no longer deserves our dollars or our respect, but still needs to make a living for themselves and their families? it’s tough to reconcile these feelings as a woman, and especially tougher now that i manage staff of my own, and observe the power of influence / influence of power on another level. i’m sad. i too have had my breasts and buttocks grabbed, and my business ideas taken, twisted and mansplained to infinity by men in the industry. i’ve also been explicitly sexually propositioned in the worst kinds of ways by restaurateurs and ersatz sommeliers in this city. i have had to master the art of diplomacy, aka gently telling someone to go to hell while still offering service with a smile. bad behaviour and coercion of power by means of sexual harassment is inexcusable and unacceptable and i stand with the fellow females whose morale and career aspirations have been stunted by careless actions. thank u to the great women (and men! love u @chanteclerto) who have already made a mark in this much-needed conversation. my official tasting note on this bottle: bittersweet with a sour finish. to anyone angry or struggling and needing someone to just listen: this is an open invitation to say i’m all ears. . . #vvv #metoo #thefutureisfemale #wine #wineindustry #hospitality #restaurant #sommelier #bartender #winemaker #toronto #the6ix #ontario #vqa
