“Police Chief Kevin Burke told Plass there has not been a spike in public drunkenness arrests associated with Barrel Tasting.”

Not good. I was pouring the Siduri CP at Siduri’s winery the second weekend and did not see any of this. If a pourer pours for somebody who is obviously intoxicated or under age the pourer is liable to be fined and subject to jail time. The claim I am not driving or I am on a bus does not relieve the pourer of liability. There is no upside to the wine industry to permit this excessive behavior. We are all better off with fewer guests and less sales than this kind of behavior.
