March 3, Oklahoma City -
Senate Joint Resolutions (SJR) 29 and Senate Bill (SB) 995 passed by the Rules Committee at the Oklahoma State Capitol.

Although there are still many steps on their way to being made into law, these initiatives will address the ability of Oklahoma winemakers to better serve their customers away from the licensed winery premises.

The Oklahoma wine industry needs any additional 'nudge' that Oklahoma wine and grape industry supporters can provide. Rep. Danny Morgan has, as usual, been leading the charge to reform Oklahoma's obsolete wine laws to make them more fair and reduce needless barriers to local trade.
