We had an incredible experience at the recent Washington, D.C. press conference for Come Over October! Joining forces with WINEAMERICA, Jim Tresize, Representative Dan Newhouse, and Representative Mike Thompson, and their Congressional Wine Caucus, we passionately advocated for the importance of the wine community and the initiatives that support it. Together, we highlighted how wine brings people together, fosters connections, and contirbutes to our local economies. This campaign is about more than enjoying great wine; it's about celebrating the relationships and kindness that flourish around the table. We're grateful for the support on both sides of the aisle who share our vision and commitment to enhancing the wine culture. Here's to making a positive impact and raising a glass to the future!

We’re excited to be a part of Come Over October, a national campaign encouraging wine lovers to share wine together, celebrate friendship and in-person connection. Learn more here: comeoveroctober.com #comeoveroctober #ComeOverOctober2024?#Gather?#GatherWithWine #WineEnthusiast
