The Grape Debate: Winemakers eye legislative proposals

Published on March 29, 2017 under CommunityImpact

Local winemaker Allan Fetty said he and his wife, Margaret, own one of the few Texas wineries that produce wine from “100 percent Texas-grown grapes.” The state’s wineries are involved in a battle over proposed legislation to require wines labeled as originating in Texas to be from juice or fruit wholly grown and produced in the state. Sponsored by Sen. Dawn Buckingham, R-Lakeway, and Rep. Jason Isaac, R-Dripping Springs, the identical bills were filed March 9 and Feb. 2, respectively.
