CNN: How a small, family-run wine company in New York hit back against Donald Trump’s tariffs
“VOS founder Victor Schwartz never intended to be at the forefront of the resistance to US government policy. “Put it this way: when I started VOS 40 years ago I had no idea that I was signing up for something like this, getting involved in a lawsuit against the executive branch of the United States,” Schwartz, who runs the business alongside his daughter Chloe, told CNN.
“I just wanted to bring in these delicious wines from interesting appellations across the world and sell those wines to a like-minded community.”
Schwartz was in the middle of cooking a pasta dinner Wednesday when he received an email from his lawyers telling him they had won. His first reaction? Disbelief. Then, his phone started ringing off the hook with media requests and messages of congratulations.” – Lex Harvey
