Wine cave fundraisers really aren’t that big of a deal. Just ask California politicians
California’s wine industry is a multibillion-dollar economic pillar, and it’s not unusual for wine moguls to contribute to campaigns or host fundraisers. Thanks to Buttigieg’s event, one particular couple was in the spotlight: Kathryn and Craig Hall, wine executives who have directed money to a variety of Democratic candidates.
“There are literally hundreds of Democrats that have been in that same cave,’’ he told the Associated Press. “Some of the most enlightened progressive voices in American politics today.” The governor raised eyebrows this fall — and criticism for being out of touch — when he responded to preemptive blackouts by lamenting the wine industry's struggles as millions of residents lost power. “I’ve got a bunch of businesses that are impacted," he said.
“There are a lot of wine caves in Napa,” Dodd said. “I’m not saying it’s not cool,” he added, “because it is. It’s really neat.”
