I just heard about the bill and think this is a long time coming. I work in the wine industry after-all, and know that 75% of our 400 wineries are small producers. They along with hundreds of vineyard owners employ thousands of Oregonians, most of whom toil in obscurity. This simple long overdue (in my opinion) bill brings some measure of attention and respect to one of our most important industries, and we hope this simple measure helps brand Oregon Wine both to those living here and countless visitors to our fine state. I believe the bill is being presented this week. If this becomes a protracted debate by our representatives, you can voice your support by contacting:
