Our state is getting a little more progressive in terms of wine sales. No longer do we have to buy wine only from a local wine warehouse, but we can now buy it from an online wine warehouse! That is so great, because we can now shop for online deals and also buy wines that may not be available in our local stores. Or if you travel to an area famous for wine, such as Napa Valley, or Simi, or France, or Italy, you can actually ship some back home. For so many years, we couldn't do any of that.
Now we have one more hurdle to jump. We need to be able to buy wine in our grocery stores. I love it when I travel to another state, and I can buy groceries and my wine at the same establishment. Grocery stores tend to have some good prices on wine, so that is another reason I like to buy there.
So, for the time being, we can either buy wine online or go to a wine store or local wine warehouse, but we can't buy it in grocery stores. There is a movement right now to try to change that. I am all for that. And why not? The only reason we can't, is because of the alcohol lobby. And that is not a good reason.
