The New Jersey Wine Industry Advisory Council was created in 1985 in accordance with New Jersey Stautes (N.J.S.A.) Title 4 Section 10-77.[1]New Jersey Public Law 1985, chapter 233, section 3; amended by Public Law 1989, chapter 209, section 5.</ref> The duties of the advisory council are "to assess the condition of the wine industry and to advise the Secretary of Agriculture on expenditures for research, development, and promotion of the New Jersey wine industry from the New Jersey Wine Promotion Fund."[2][3]

The council has eight members who serve for terms of three years. Two of the council's members are appointed by virtue of their positions in the State Government (i.e. the state Secretary of Agriculture, and the Commissioner of Commerce, Energy and Economic Development) and one (i.e. the Dean of Cook College at Rutgers University) because of his or her position at the state's sole land grant university under the Morrill Act of 1862. Cook College, named for nineteenth-century professor George Hammell Cook was previously known as the Rutgers Scientific School and College of Agriculture and is home to the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extenstion Service. In 2007, Cook College—a residential college at Rutgers with a focus on agriculture and specializes in environmental science, animal science and other life sciences—was reorganized as the "School of Environmental and Biological Sciences" (SEBS).

The remaining five members are appointed from the general public by the State Board of Agriculture—two of whom shall be holders of a plenary winery license, two of whom shall be holders of a farm winery license and one of whom shall be a viticulturist.[4]

As of 2013, the eight current members of New Jersey Wine Industry Advisory Council are:[2]

  • Jack Tomasello, Tomasello Winery (Council Chairman)
  • Anthony Valenzano, Valenzano Winery
  • Janet Giunco
  • Ollie Tomasello
  • William Heritage
  • Douglas H. Fisher, New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture (2009-present)
  • Commissioner of Commerce, Energy and Economic Development
  • Robert M. Goodman, Dean, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers University

The council is required to meet twice each year, and may meet for additional sessions if necessary.[5]
