The KGWC will send a written notice of the new program period to all licensed small farm winery wholesalers each December and June, requiring the wholesaler to confirm if it will have products participating in this program prior to the program start dates of 1st January and 1st July, respectively. The Council will then calculate a cap for each participating small farm winery each January and July, based on the amount of funds available and the number of licensed wineries participating in a program period. A written notice of the cap for the program period will be mailed to all small farm winery wholesalers that confirm active participation in the program.
