<\/p>\nSacramento, CA…Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced a friendly wager with Texas Governor Greg Abbott on the matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros in the 2017 World Series, which begins tonight. In the spirit of bi-partisanship and in recognition of the resilience of the communities impacted by the recent wildfires in California and Hurricane Harvey in Texas, the governors are wagering wine, beer and food from businesses in regions impacted by these disasters and encouraging the public to see, taste and experience what their respective states have to offer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we don\u2019t expect to have to send any vino to Texas, we hope travelers from all over the world \u2013 yes, even the Lone Star State \u2013 will continue to visit California,\u201d said Governor Brown.<\/p>\n
Northern California\u2019s wine region has more than 1,200 wineries, and only a handful were heavily damaged or destroyed. Vintners report that 90 percent of this year\u2019s grapes were harvested before the fires and most tasting rooms have reopened. <\/p>\n
\u201cTexas and California are recovering from some of the worst natural disasters our states have ever encountered,\u201d said Governor Abbott. \u201cAs we work to overcome these challenges, our two states are united by America\u2019s pastime as we cheer on our home teams in the World Series. Go Astros!\u201d<\/p>\n
If the Astros win, Governor Brown will send Governor Abbott a selection of wine from wineries in the Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino regions impacted by recent wildfires. If the Dodgers win, Governor Abbott will send Governor Brown a six-pack of Houston-brewed beer and Texas BBQ.<\/p>\n
The first game of the best-of-seven World Series will be played tonight at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
