Sharon Martin reported that the Senate approved the Farmer s Market bill that will allow small wineries to sell at the markets. To be eligible, wineries must produce less than 5,000 gallons. Sharon feels that there needs to be discussion about the virtual wineries that are opening. This discussion will be moved to the Business Development Committee portion of the meeting. Steve Lovejoy announced that Doug Buhler has been named Director of Ag Bio Research. Michigan State University has approved three classes in brewing and distilled beverages for the fall of MSU is planning to tear down Morrill Hall. AG Hall will be renamed the Morrill Hall of Agriculture. Paul Howland congratulated the staff on a successful conference, pre-conference and Showcase events. The Leelanau Peninsula tour that Paul recently participated in is something he would like to see more of. Jeff Lemon noted that he appreciates the opportunity to visit Traverse City. He noted that the 2012 vintage was great and that the growth in the vineyards in Southwest Michigan is already between 2 and 8. Mother Nature did spring right this year. Claes Fornell has been traveling extensively and flew in from New York last night. During his trip he noted that the Chinese are buying up vineyards around the world. He also observed in person that the Pure Michigan campaign is running in New York. Marty Lagina said the cold March weather was great for the vineyards. The late frost did little damage. Marty went to Germany with the O Keefe s from Chateau Grand Traverse. They visited a 900-year-old vineyard, Schloss Johannesburg. They had a superb visit there as Sean O Keefe went to school with the winemaker there. Gordon Wenk was recently on the Old Mission Peninsula participating in an awards ceremony for all of the vineyards that are MAEAP verified. Governor Rick Snyder presented plaques recognizing seven wineries and three vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula that have completed MAEAP verification. 2
3 A $6 million Strategic Growth Initiative Grant program, to be administered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development is being considered by the Legislature for the FY 14 budget. There have been six regional meetings to learn about needs of the food processing industry. The program is intended to support adding value to Michigan agricultural products. Public Comment The following people introduced themselves to the Council: Garrett Coggin, MAEAP Dan Busby, MAEAP verifier Paul Birgy, Graphic Solid Ink Dan Young, Tandem Ciders Dan also read a letter of interest asking that the Council add cideries to the promotional materials that the Council distributes to the public, including the Michigan Wine Country magazine (Attachment A) and michiganwines.com website. Marie Dalese, Chateau Chantal Liz Berger, Chateau Chantal Tree Sterman, CT Conservation District Gordon facilitated a discussion on a request from Mike Beck (Attachment B) on behalf of Michigan s hard cider producers that the Council revisit their policies regarding promotional support for the growing hard cider industry. It was noted that the Council s eligibility policies as recorded in the Administrative Practices are the policies that affect which businesses are promoted by the Council. Mark Esterman reported that the Promotion Committee had discussed the issue at their May 15 meeting and felt that product labeled as cider differed in significant ways from wine and it might be challenging to incorporate cider easily into the Council s promotional activities. Paul Howland indicated that the Business Development Committee had a similar reaction at their April 19 meeting, where this topic was discussed. The Council discussed the matter at great length. MOTION: STEVE LOVEJOY MOVED THAT THE COUNCIL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO ITS ELIGIBILITY POLICIES. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SUPPORT. The Council requested that more research be conducted by staff before they would be prepared to make a change in policy. Specifically, the Council requested additional information regarding: Review of the federal and state licenses for hard cider producers. Interpretation of the Council s founding statute with respect to defining wine (would require further discussion with MLCC) Discussion with the Michigan Apple Committee regarding their views on the growth of the Michigan hard cider industry and the support the hard cider producers have received or might receive from the Committee. 3

The Chair asked if the Council should be doing more to help get more vines in the ground. Jeff Lemon felt that the wineries themselves should be what drive the growers to produce more fruit.
