A former Republican member of Congress who was once called Donald Trump’s “stooge” has resurfaced as a wine connoisseur in a quaint coastal California town.
Devin Nunes made headlines constantly in the first Trump administration, with the Central Valley representative accused of meddling in Trump’s Russia investigation to protect the president and then suing a parody Twitter account called “Devin Nunes’ Cow” for $250 million after it called him a “treasonous cowpoke.”
He left Congress to run Trump’s social media platform and then largely fell out of the news. He has since re-emerged as a wine investor and the owner of a new tasting room in Pismo Beach called the Nunes Wine Company.
The former representative was first spotted by the San Luis Obispo Tribune’s opinion editor. Nunes is partnering with longtime winemaker and personal friend Mike Sinor, who has helped Nunes turn his political persona into a brand. The former representative’s name is written in big, white capital letters on every bottle.
Pismo Beach is an idyllic beach community north of Santa Barbara, known for its wide sandy beaches, seafood and small town charm. The town was known as the “Clam Capital of the World” for years for its abundance of its namesake Pismo clam, until overfishing destroyed the local shellfish industry by the late 20th century.
Jon Fleischman, the former executive director of the California Republican Party and longtime Republican consultant, told SFGATE that “it’s great” he’s opening up the business, but the news is unexpected.

I always thought Nunes was a sincere but mostly ineffective
attorney for President Trump. When you are representing someone as controversial as Donald Trump, you have to be ready to vigorously define and defend the president to the public as needed. You can’t waste a lot of energy trying to be nice to those who openly hate your guts.
I was hoping Nunez was going to make Truth Social the next X/Twitter and make me a bunch of $$$$. I bought in at $125? a share on the IPO, and it’s now under $10. That was back when it was DWAC/ TMTC as a SPAC.
Wasn’t he providing legal advice to the president during all those “Russian Conspiracy” charges?
He isn’t a lawyer.
