Wine tastings bid for Washington farmers markets

Some farmers markets in Washington may be able to offer visitors tastes of beer and wine.

The Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Some farmers markets in Washington may be able to offer visitors tastes of beer and wine.

A state lawmaker from Seattle, Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Wells, is introducing a bill that would direct the Liquor Control Board to choose 10 farmers markets for a test program the next two years.

Only one winery or microbrewery could offer samples at a market each day. Customers would have to stay in the tasting location and drink samples of two ounces or less.

Last year the Legislature approved beer and wine tastings in some grocery stores.
