\u00a0Let&#8217;s be honest. \u00a02020 was a dumpster fire of a year. \u00a0From COVID-19 to the late spring frosts and freezes that wiped out many spring grape buds and flowers to the seemingly never ending rain, 2020 was a year that we and probably most of the local wine industry is happy to forget.<\/p>\n<p>With the new year, comes the hope of better opportunities and experiences. \u00a0Here are few things we&#8217;re looking forward to for North Carolina Wine in 2021:<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">2021 &gt; 2020<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improvement of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong> \u00a0We missed regularly visiting wineries in 2020. \u00a0We hope the pandemic improves which will allow us to visit more often, taste more often, and share more about North Carolina wine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_2831\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
