Shared premises

[Jeff]

I had read in a previous American Distiller newsletter that lobbying was being done to allow distillery operations on a winery premise. Does anyone know more about that?

Hello Jeff,

You can do this now with some paperwork. Our setup is as follows: One area is designated as the DSP. The balance of the bonded area is an alternating premises that can be either the winery or DSP. We can also designate one tank in the alternating area (for example) as being used for the DSP then later re-designate it as being in the winery. The alternating area and the DSP are seperated only by a painted line. A detailed log is kept of any switches instead filing forms with the TTB in advance. This required writing a letter and getting a waiver.

Cheers,

Keith
