Bill > H7711

This resolution, a formal expression from the Rhode Island House of Representatives, congratulates Diamond Hill Vineyards on its 50th anniversary. The resolution acknowledges the vineyard's origins in the late 1960s when Peter and Claire Berntson, inspired by their time in France, purchased land in Cumberland to pursue farming and winemaking. It highlights that Diamond Hill Vineyards is now a second-generation, family-run business, officially founded in 1976, and has grown to encompass over 30 acres producing a variety of wines, including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and fruit wines. The resolution also recognizes the vineyard's role as a popular destination for tours, tastings, and gatherings, celebrating its transformation from a dream into a successful enterprise. Finally, it directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of this congratulatory resolution to the Berntson family.
