HARTFORD – State Representatives Jason Perillo and Ben McGorty joined members of the Connecticut Vineyard and Winery Association at the State Capitol on Tuesday to call on lawmakers to fix language in the Liquor Control Act that will negatively impact Connecticut Farm Wineries.
Legislation passed last year extends incentives originally designed to support Connecticut farmers to manufacturers who typically import out of state grapes or wine that is already fermented and ready for bottling.

HARTFORD – The General Assembly gaveled in for the 2020 Legislative Session on Wednesday. The current legislative session is a “short session”, which will run until midnight on Wednesday, May 6th.
“Governor Ned Lamont continues to push for policies that will only move our state backwards,” said Rep. McGorty. “The governor should abandon his push for tolls and work with us on a bipartisan solution. If the governor wants both parties to work together then he should include us and listen to our ideas on how we think we should budget and fix our transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, the governor and Democratic lawmakers have closed the door to many of our common sense ideas.”
