Its Getting Closer

We may have a decision on wine shipments soon, June 16th is the 30 day mark and it looks like legislation has been drawn to vote on. I do not know all the details and if there are any hidden hurdles but it looks good.

Michigan Governor Supports Direct Shipment of Wine
It is hard to ignore the movement across the country favoring the legalization of the direct shipment of wine. While the Supreme Court decision really didn't clarify a great deal, it did spur many to act.

It looks as though a number of states are now or will be allowing direct shipment of wine including Texas, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire AND Michigan.
-That's right, Michigan I believe will fall into the direct wine shipment column. I've talked to a few people in that state and what we know is that a great deal of pressure has been put on Governor Granholm to support some form of direct shipment of wine in the state. This pressure comes after the appointed Alcohol Commission chairwoman Nida Samona spoke up and said she would urge the Michigan legislature to ban all shipping. Since then she has backed away from that statement and has been extraordinarily quiet on the issue...no doubt she is doing as she is told at this point.

MICHIGAN GOV SUPPORTS DIRECT WINE SHIPMENTSA bill has been written that would allow wineries to ship up to 24 cases annually to any individual in the state. The governor has said she would support a direct shipping bill.

-As more and more states move in the direct shipping direction they supply support for those in other states wishing to do the same and prove to be a difficulty for those in states arguing against direct shipping. This is why it is important when any state affirms the rights of consumers to buy wine direct.
