•In 1990, in hopes of controlling development in America’s premier wine region, Napa County legislators passed the Winery Definition Ordinance (WDO), legally defining “winery.” At that time, the board of supervisors couldn’t have foreseen the valley, 30 years later, being home to nearly 500 physical wineries and more than 1,800 licensed wine producers that range from boutique to behemoth. This week, the board created a new winery category, hoping to carve out a spot for small wineries that have been denied full winery rights before now. On April 5, the board gave final approval to the Micro-Winery Ordinance, which simplifies the permitting process for small producers who make up to 1,000 cases of wine per year. Supporters of the move say it will make running a craft winery truly sustainable. Wine Spectator has the full story.
