Winegrowers: tasting rooms.(1) Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses. Existing law authorizes a licensed winegrower to conduct winetastings of wine produced or bottled by, or produced and packaged for, the licensee, either on or off the winegrowers premises. The department provides for the issuance of a separate winegrowers license, commonly referred to as a duplicate license if a winegrower is operating under an alternating proprietorship, pursuant to which the winegrower is permitted to use the facilities of another winegrower in the course of producing wine. Existing law generally provides that a violation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act is a misdemeanor.This bill would require that a winegrower operating pursuant to an alternating proprietorship be allowed 2 tasting rooms under the duplicate winegrowers license that it has been issued, for purposes of exercising its right to conduct winetastings, as specified. By broadening the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
