Woo and Hoo!
From Da Professor comes word the Supremes have ruled states cannot ban direct out-of-state wine shipments. This fills me with joy, as I live in Maryland, one of those backwaters where direct wine sales are banned. Worse, I live in Montgomery County, which regulates the sale of alchohol out the wazzoo. OUT THE WAZZOO, I SAY!!!.

Don't forget Ripple & Thunderbird, just to round out the trio of Wine-O approved wines.

I live in one of those backwater states too, Michigan.
And I am happy about this as there is a great winery in South Carolina (no I am no joking) whose wines we just love.
I'm going to place an order this week.
Yea for me!

I can't wait to get online and order!

You can't buy wine on the Internet yet. The ruling allows state legislatures to make laws allowing it, but does not require it at this time.
Or, at least, that's what NPR said yesterday.

WHAT THE DECISION MEANS
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws in Michigan and New York that favored in-state wine shipping over out-of-state wineries. States must now allow wine shipping by in- and out-of-state producers, or ban shipments altogether.

And, yes you can buy wine over the internet, I have done it alot, and I have to say that it's great when it shows up at your house all cozy and you don't have to go anywhere to get it...
