A new report alleges that the vineyard management company contracted by PlumpJack, the wine business founded by California Governor Gavin Newsom in which he still holds a financial stake, has a long history of employing illegal alien labor. Reporters spent weeks in Napa examining operations at Oso Vineyard, a 129-acre property PlumpJack purchased in 2022 for $14.5 million, where Renteria Vineyard Management handles field work, for a new City Journal investigation.
PlumpJack’s own materials identify Oscar Renteria as Oso’s long-time vineyard manager, and neither PlumpJack nor Renteria Vineyard Management disputed the arrangement when contacted.
RVM was founded in 1987 by Salvador Renteria, an illegal alien from Mexico who arrived in Napa in the 1960s and began working in vineyards in 1964. His son Oscar later took over the company, which manages more than 2,200 acres.
Newsom did not divest his PlumpJack stake when he became governor.
Tax returns show he and his wife earned at least $11 million between 2019 and 2024, largely from wineries, restaurants, and investments.
The report found no H-2A temporary agricultural worker visa filings for RVM or PlumpJack’s estates after 2023, after earlier limited filings by a subcontractor.

P
That’ll enhance his eligibility for his 2028 RAT Presidential run.
Do you really think it will cost him one vote?
Wine drinking is not cool anymore and the California wine industry is losing millions. I’m sure Newsom’s winery is in that category.
He needs to be hauled into court if there is sufficient evidence of this.

If any winery is making money it will be Newscums, think Hunter’s paintings.
No surprise... and no blame. “It wasn’t my fault, I trusted the management team”. And anyway his voters don’t care.
Thanks for the ping!! Great stuff!!
Not unless there is legal action against him - as there would be in any sane world.
