Its All Up To Jenny Now....

State residents can order their favorite labels sent directly to their homes from vintners in California, Michigan and elsewhere as soon as Gov. Jennifer Granholm signs a bill passed by the House on Tuesday that lets out-of-state and in-state wine makers ship 1,500 cases a year to consumers. The Senate passed the measure last week. "The compromise addresses our principles. Pending review, we're planning to sign it," said Liz Boyd, Granholm's press secretary. Residents have been able to order wine directly from Michigan wineries. This law, stemming from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, will let them get hard-to-find wines from other states, backers say. The House passed the bill 104-0 and approved a companion bill 103-1 that requires shippers to buy a $100 state license. Shippers will use an age verification service to make sure minors aren't ordering their products.
LANSING -- Cheers, Michigan wine sippers.

Good news here, we can finally order wine over the internet and it seems like local vineyards will still be able to distribute themselves nd not sell all their wine to a wholesaler. There may be a lawsuit from out of state vineyards against MI since locals can ship to restaurants but they cannot. Out of state will still need to go thru a distributer but can ship to individuals, at least one step in the right direction. Now if Jenny can get to some signing, it will make for a good xmas present for the state.
