Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but will give it a shot.
Does anyone know what the rules are with regards to producing brandy for wineries in California? What can we (distilleries) legally do for them and what can a winery legally do with the brandy that is produced?
Assuming the winery does not have a distilling licence, but has the license required to do TIBs with a distillery:
• Can a winery age brandy on their premises?
• Can a winery bottle the brandy themselves?
• If not, can the producing distillery bottle for them?
• What would label requirements be?
• Can a winery sell brandy made from their wine?
• Can a winery provide tasting samples of their brandy? (I don't believe they can.)
• Can the producing distillery sell (and taste) the winery's brandy (if agreeable with winery)?
Thanks,
