Shipping Wine

When I lived in California, I didn’t drink wine. Now I live in New Jersey and I love trying many wines. Thanks to some old fashioned laws leftover from prohibition, shipping wines to New Jersey is a pain. And, many other states suffer with similar problems.

What does this mean?

It means that I cannot order wines from around the country. In fact, you probably cannot either. So if you want your wine, get involved.

Maybe this should be the wedge issue in the next election. Thank goodness for Wine Library, but unless I make the two hour drive, I pay tax and shipping.
