Countdown to #CAWG50 – In 1997, the CAWG Board began discussions to create a program to award annual college scholarships to high school seniors who are children of vineyard employees. The first scholarships were awarded in 1998 to five students. CAWG established a separate non-profit, the California Wine Grape Growers Foundation, which has awarded $639,500 in scholarships since the program's inception, empowering students to pursue higher education. These scholarships are made possible through generous donations from CAWG members and the supportive California wine community. Each week, CAWG will share history, memories, and showcase the many people who have shaped CAWG's journey as we countdown to the November 21 celebration. Special thank you to Vineyard Select Sponsor, Jim's Supply Company, for supporting CAWG’s 50th celebration anniversary! #CAWG50 #WinegrapeGrowers #DrinkCAWine Sponsorship opportunities, tickets, and more information can be found here: https://bit.ly/3VwyFaB

Countdown to #CAWG50 – As CAWG celebrates its 50-year milestone, it reflects on the halfway point in 1999, a significant year in the association’s history. CAWG commemorated 25 years of advocacy and leadership while celebrating legislative successes that shaped the future of viticulture in California. In 1992, CAWG supported legislation carried by then State Senator Mike Thompson (now U.S. Congressman) to create the California Rootstock Improvement Commission. After signed into law, the Commission was launched in 1993 to conduct research to develop rootstocks resistant to phylloxera and nematodes. Another Thompson bill signed in 1992 provided tax relief for growers with phylloxera-infested vineyards and tax credits for replanting. CAWG leaders also expanded efforts to support research through contributions to the American Vineyard Foundation. Each week, CAWG will share history, memories, and showcase the many people who have shaped CAWG's journey as we countdown to the November 21 celebration. Special thank you to Reserve Vineyard Sponsor, Vino Farms Inc, for supporting and helping celebrate CAWG’s 50th anniversary! #CAWG50 #WinegrapeGrowers #DrinkCAWine Sponsorship opportunities, tickets, and more information can be found here: https://bit.ly/3VwyFaB
