Bartlett board adopts new 'class W' micro‑winery liquor license
Summary
The Bartlett Village Board voted unanimously to add a new "class W" micro‑winery liquor license allowing up to 50,000 gallons annually, set hours and a $1,000 fee. The board also noted it will issue a license to d z Boutique Winery for informational purposes.
The Bartlett Village Board on July 7 approved an ordinance creating a new "class W" liquor license to authorize micro‑wineries in village limits.
Committee chairman Bannerman, who introduced the proposal, described the new license as permitting production of up to 50,000 gallons per calendar year and set permitted hours for retail sales at 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Bannerman said the license fee will be $1,000 and moved to approve ordinance 2026 to add section 3‑3‑2‑22 to the Bartlett Municipal Code.
The motion was seconded and approved by roll call; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from trustees listed on the roll and the motion carried. The ordinance amends Title 3, Chapter 3 of the municipal code to create the new license classification specifically for micro‑wineries.
The board also noted, for informational purposes, it will issue a class W license to d z Boutique Winery; no objections were raised during the meeting.
What happens next: staff will process the ordinance paperwork and the licensing authority will work with applicants on compliance and fee payment. The board did not discuss specific license recipients beyond the informational notice about d z Boutique Winery.
