(Winemag) - With the one-two punch of the growing coronavirus pandemic and Governor Gavin Newsom of California ordering the entire state to shelter in place, the wine industry in America’s top wine-producing state is facing the greatest challenge of its time. This comes after years of devastating wildfires tested the resilience of Californians.

Restaurants, bars and tasting rooms are among the many businesses closed to limit the spread of the virus, while wineries are allowed to continue operating only essential production and viticulture functions.
