I could if I lived in another state, but no....

Oh, that pisses me off. Found a great deal (here: http://www.atasteofcalifornia.com/moreinfo.cfm?Category=27&Product_ID=234 ) AND CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

Grrrrr. This country is nuts. I know that this is really nothing to get pissed about, but it's just another example of the many STUPID laws that we are forced to live by.

4. I don't know where you live, but I can't either, and I'm in Ga.
It's illegal to ship ANY alcoholic beverages into Ga. They claim it's because they're "protecting the children" from being able to lie and order booze online. I don't know what their real reason is, but I'm sure it's not the one they gave!

6. I'm next door where the good purveyors of morality also ride heard
on us sinners and malcontents.

10. I thought CA vintners had recently won
a judgement that struck down the distributer inspired state laws. Maybe I am dreaming.

I have shipped wine to family members in other States. I got the packing materials at the winery. I went to the local Mail Boxes R Us type store. On the paperwork. where it asked for 'contents', I listed vinegar. No problemo.

12. I am in MA. I can order it. But, I hate wine.

My palate isn't very sophisticated.
