Applied Research Serving the Wine Industry
The wine industry has felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in many ways. While we are all concerned for the health of our colleagues and customers, the economic impacts have already been felt and will continue to be throughout the coming months. With this in mind, the decision has been made to pause ROC activities until the Applied Research support the ROC provides is a better fit for the state of the industry. Thank you for all of your engagement, enthusiasm and support thus far, we look forward to continuing our relationships with our Members, Sponsors and Partners in the near future. The ROC will be publishing the 2019 trial ROC Reports on the website and I will continue to be available by phone or email for any concerns, questions or discussions. Peter Salamone, ROC CEO
