“If they (Texas) want to take those steps backwards, that’s all for the better of Virginia.”

Virginia’s Ag Secretary Haymore Calls Out Texas for Cutting Wine Budget

“Two of our closest competitors in the US, New York State and Texas, are actually cutting their wine marketing and education budgets and cutting back the things they are doing to support their industry. It doesn’t make any sense to us but we’re not arguing. If they want to take those steps backwards, that’s all for the better of Virginia. We are committed to growing this industry.” Quote from Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Todd Haymore, Virginia.

Love to taste, talk and tweet about Texas wines and where they are in the global scheme for wines. After all that's the only way they will reach the full potential.
