Napa Valley Vintners now wants more collaboration on watershed initiative

Oct 3, 2017

(NVR) - In the latest turn in an increasingly confusing controversy, Napa Valley Vintners announced it wants community collaboration on a possible oak woodland and watershed protection ballot measure for the November 2018 election.

Is the group disavowing a proposed oak woodland and watershed initiative that it co-authored with environmentalists Jim Wilson and Mike Hackett and targeted for the June 2018 ballot? That wasn’t clear on Monday.

“We’re focused on a community consensus building process right now and we’re hoping (Hackett and Wilson) will join us,” Rex Stults of Napa Valley Vintners said without elaboration.

Other wine industry groups and some Napa Valley Vintners members have criticized the proposed Vintners/Hackett/Wilson initiative and said they were left out of the negotiations. The Napa Valley Vintners Board of Directors addressed the issue on Friday.
