Health Insurance - Group Plan

We need to know if you would be interested...

Wine Road is investigating the opportunity to offer group health insurance which our members could offer their employees as a benefit, or for their staff to buy into themselves, at a lower "group rate".

This is NOT a commitment, we are just looking to gauge interest before we pursue the idea any farther.
