NYTimes: Asimov on the Overshine Cooperative

by TomHill » Thu Jul 31, 2025 12:43 pm

Interesting article by Eric today in the NYTimes:
[Asimov: Overshine Cooperative](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/dini ... -wine.html)
on the Overshine cooperative set up by some of my favorite winemakers.
It's not clear from the article how the cooperative actually works, the nuts & bolts of it, but it sounds like a good idea to me to insure growth of the individual brands.

Hmmm...Sam Bilbro's there. I thought he sold Idlewild--not so?

'Twas so:

Last year he sold Idlewild to Mr. Drummond, an arrangement in which Mr. Bilbro became the managing partner for all three of Mr. Drummond’s brands, Idlewild, Overshine and Comunità.
cheers, Patchen

(This was all news to me. I dropped out of the Idlewild club -- and not only theirs -- and haven't been keeping abreast of these developments. I hope this co-op proves to be a good fit for everybody.)
cheers, Patchen
