30 Mins With The VP
On behalf of WineAmerica, we’d like to thank you for being a member. Your support helps us continue our mission of advocating for and supporting the growth and success of the wine industry across the United States.
As part of membership in 2026, we’d like to extend the opportunity for you to make an appointment to virtually meet with Michael Kaiser, Executive Vice President and Director of Government Affairs for WineAmerica.
As the main voice of WineAmerica on Capitol Hill, Michael wants to know from our members, what matters most to them and their business and how WineAmerican can best be of support. Please keep the discussion related to public policy matters such as taxation, labeling, and DTC wine shipping.
