__SALUTATION__
Congratulations to Sipwell Wine Company, my 2023 Woman-Owned Small Business of the Year! Based in Encinitas, Sipwell makes award-winning canned wines from sustainably grown California grapes.
California is the 4th largest wine producer in the world, and produces 81% of the wine made in the United States.
With so many large vineyards and winemakers in California, it is my honor to highlight a 100% woman-owned local business right here in #AD77. Congratulations to Sipwell on this recognition!
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District

San Diego Veterans Day Parade
Over the weekend, I celebrated our Veterans at the San Diego Veterans Day Parade, which returned to the city for the first time since 2019. #AD77 is home to a large military community, and it is my honor to represent the brave people who served in our Armed Forces.
Walking with me were several families from the Military Spouse Association of Camp Pendleton. To them and all other military families, Happy Veterans Day!
Tri-City Hospital Foundation "Gala at the Casino Royale"
I had a great time celebrating my friends at Tri-City Hospital at their annual gala! This event is always an important night for recognizing the Tri-City community's collaborative efforts to make healthcare better for their patients and celebrate the year's accomplishments.
Although the healthcare field has faced its fair share of challenges in the past years, I am grateful for the continued dedication of our healthcare workers in the midst of these trying times.
