Advocating for Texas Wine and Grape Growers

Advocating for Texas Wine and Grape Growers

Kyle Frazier is the legislative advocate for the Texas Wine & Grape Growers Association (TWGGA). He joins me to discuss how TWGGA develops legislative priorities and working on behalf of its members. We discuss hot button topics from the last legislative session as well as what's to come in 2023.

Listen until the end to hear a few highlights from my recent road trip to visit vineyards in the Texas High Plains.

Cheers, y'all!
