The Big Sky Country of Montana comes with a cold climate that can be challenging for growing many types of grapes, but the cold-hardy Minnesota varieties can withstand the winter temperatures. Other fruits are also used to make local wines. Read more about this state's profile: https://lnkd.in/eUWbSKGe

Come Over October is an international celebration of—and with—wine as the beverage that brings us together—family, friends, colleagues, entire strangers—to toast all that is good about life. The promotion was created by noted wine communicators Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, plus Kimberly Charles and Gino Colangelo, both of whom have their own wine-focused agencies in New York and San Francisco. WineAmerica was pleased to host a Congressional Wine Reception on September 25, suggested and organized by Vice President Tara Good, and supported by the bipartisan Congressional Wine Coalition, co-chaired by Representatives Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA). Coincidentally, the tasting occurred right after the House voted to keep the government open until late December, so there was even something official to celebrate. Wineries and trade associations around the country are celebrating COO in many different ways, using the resources provided on the website or creating their own concepts of how wine brings us together.

Missouri has a long history of grape and wine production, mostly due to Germans who settled in Hermann and other communities starting in 1837. In the 1870s, when French vineyards were being devastated by the root louse phylloxera, Missouri sent large amounts of resistant rootstock to help save that industry. Before Prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the country. Read more about this state's profile here: https://lnkd.in/ePeweZDb

Members of Congress wanted to get home to the campaign trail, an incentive that helped them come together to avoid a potential government shutdown. They basically kicked the can down the road with a “Continuing Resolution” (current spending levels) through December 20, when they will again play chicken right before the holidays. What a way to run a government! Read more about our Policy Perspectives here: https://lnkd.in/ekX6hwwH
