Wine Spectator: Live From Lockdown With Danny Meyer

What’s life during lockdown like for one of the world’s top restaurateurs? How is he serving his community? And how does he stay positive?

Straight Talk with Wine Spectator is a new Instagram series sponsored by Wine Access, featuring live conversations with wine-and-food newsmakers. The chats kicked off early last month amid widespread shutdowns from the Covid-19 crisis, in order to shed light on the changes and challenges these industries are facing.

In the May 14 edition, restaurateur Danny Meyer opened up to Wine Spectator executive editor Thomas Matthews about life in lockdown, the state of the industry, and what’s in the works at his New York–based Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). Watch the full episode to hear more from Meyer, and tune in to Straight Talk on Wine Spectator’s Instagram page, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. ET.—Julie Harans
