Trade Associations
Select Accomplishments for Trade Association Clients:

What is the value of a name? When it comes to wine, producers located with federally sanctioned “American Viticultural Areas (AVA)” can receive top dollar for their wine from premier growing regions like Napa Valley, Willamette Valley or Sonoma. When the regulatory agency within the U.S. Department of Treasury which oversees these terms proposed weakening the standard to qualify for use of these terms, PACE stopped the proposed change in its tracks on behalf of an association that represents the growers and producers of one of the most recognizable wine regions in the United States. In doing so, we helped protect the hundreds of millions of dollars of investments of the
association’s members, and positioned them for continued growth in the years to come.
