 Wine importer Patrick Allen returns to Chefs in the City — this time with a glass in hand and some tough truths about the international wine market. The crew dives into how the new 15% tariffs (and the looming return of an older 25% tariff) are reshaping the world of French wine, disrupting small family producers, and putting pressure on importers like Patrick, who champion the authentic, handcrafted bottles we love.

Patrick explains how uncertainty—not just the tariffs themselves—has “eviscerated” summer sales, why some French vineyards are literally being ripped out, and how shifting global consumption (including China’s explosive domestic wine growth) is changing the landscape. They also explore his work at Columbus State, where he’s building a wine program that’s capturing the imagination of both younger drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. And yes — they taste a bottle or two along the way.

From Rhône wines to perfect Thanksgiving pairings, Patrick demonstrates why authenticity remains the ultimate luxury in a complex global market. Pour a glass and settle in — it’s a fascinating look at how world events land right in your wine glass.
