cool - I won't be able to get it in Mississippi - can't get crap here - but cool
Maynard from Tool has a vineyard also - Merkin Vineyard - can't get that here either - can't even have it shipped to Mississippi. Closest it can be shipped is Georgia

If we can get it here (Atl.), you can have it shipped to me, and I will ship it to you.

that's the prob - it is illegal for ANYONE to ship alcohol into Mississippi without it going through the Alcohol Beverage Commission. Or at least that is what I thought. I could be wrong and it could just be that the manufacturer cannot ship to Mississippi - hmmmm I will have to look into that now.

^^^Oh, I didn't know about that!
Edit: Hmmm . . . how far into Mississippi are you? If there is something you really want, I could meet you halfway (I guess that would be somewhere in Alabama!)

Currently, thirteen states offer "reciprocal" status - you can ship between these states without any trouble. These are: California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. This at least means that west-coast residents can share their wines with little difficulty.
Next, there are states where the shipping status is not completely illegal, but there restrictions on shipping: Alabama, Alaska, Connecticut, Dist. Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota (recent!), Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming. Check carefully before shipping in these states.
States where direct shipping is illegal: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
Next, the fun category. Wine shipments in these states are not only illegal, but felonies: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
But that is weird because on the Merkin website - it states clearly that they will ship to georgia - so does that mean that you can live in Georgia - you can order wine and receive it but that you cannot then ship it out to another state?
Georgia’s wine shipping law change comes with caveats for consumers Posted in Wine Column | June 24, 2008 – 6:20 pm There has been little buzz about the July 1 enactment of a bill that would allow Georgia consumers to have wine shipped to their doorstep. When I called retailers, distributors and importers, I got barely a ho-hum. Odd, I thought this was groundbreaking stuff.
The reality is that House Bill 1061 clarified and amended language of a shipping bill already on the books. Simply put, under this new bill, consumers can receive up to 12 cases of wine per year on their doorstep - as long as someone 21 years of age or older signs for the package.
From wineries’ perspective, gone is language that forbade shipping if the winery was represented by a distributor. That’s a significant modification to the existing law.
there was a spin article last year with Maynard in it - they interviewed him on the vineyard, while he was working. sounded interesting - but its $$$ wine.
well - nevermind - doesn't matter that they don't ship to me anyway - allt he reasonable priced wine is sold out - all they have is $70 and up and I am not paying that much for a bottle of wine

Dammit. We can't get any beer above 6.0 here (meaning very few craft brews) but we can ship wine?
Why can't I be a wine snob instead of a beer snob.
It is possible to convert. My b/f used to be a beer snob, and now he's a wine snob . . . er, drinker. I don't know if you could call him a wine snob when our favorite wine we've found so far is $12 for the big bottle.
