It didn't take long for law professor Christopher Buccafusco to begin feeling disconnected from his students when classes shifted online in March due to COVID-19.

So Buccafusco, a professor at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in Manhattan, came up with a novel and delicious way to interact with his far-flung students: a weekly wine tasting via Zoom with a splash of the law for good measure.

He began hosting the Thursday evening tastings in early April, where each week he and participants taste wine and discuss a case or legal aspect of the wine industry.
