California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), a winery owner himself, defended “wine caves” after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other Democratic presidential candidates attacked them during Thursday’s debates.
Warren’s critiques focused on South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s fundraiser. The two are battling ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
“It’s my business. It’s how I started,” Newsom told HuffPost after the onstage clash between the candidates.
Newsom built a large-scale enterprise that includes wineries and a San Francisco wine shop, which was placed into a blind trust when he was elected governor in 2018, the outlet noted.
