Devin Nunes planning late May winery tour fundraiser
As policymakers begin to debate reopening the country’s schools and shuttered businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic, one California Republican apparently is hopeful he’ll be wine tasting with political donors by the end of May.
A PAC controlled by Rep. Devin Nunes, who serves as the top Republican on the House Intelligence panel, sent an email Wednesday reminding would-be contributors of his “Napa Wine Tour” fundraising event planned for May 26 to 28.

The planned fundraising event is to benefit Nunes’ political action committee, called New PAC.
“This trip is exclusively for New PAC Max members,” the invitation states, noting a $5,000 annual contribution per political action committee or $2,800 contribution per individual.

According to the link, the event would feature Rep. Richard Hudson, a North Carolina Republican, as “special guest.”
With few exceptions, Napa Valley/Napa County skews pretty blue. So a lot of rich donors (IMO) would have to travel to Northern California from other CA counties and U.S. states (not forgetting parts of Russia) -- a COVID-19 recipe for disaster.
Meanwhile, a Napa winery organization has already canceled their annual charity event called Auction Napa Valley, which occurs beginning of June (ANV is huge and supports many local charities).
The timing is quite coincidental -- I wonder if the Nunes camp trying to cash in on hole created by this cancellation.
