Buying Wine on The Internet in Every State

[Jason]

I to believe that wines that are without a distributor should be allowed to ship directly. Many of these guys are too small for the trade to worry about.The sticky part comes when wines that do have representation can be shipped in by someone with little or no expenses.
The distributors (who you all love so much) are the folks out there training most of the retailers and servers.When a retailer has a tasting the person manning the table is usually a distributor and guess who pays for the wine (most of the time)? Not the retailer.
So after we have done the work, incurred the cost (and are a part of the local economy) the wine can be shipped in from anywhere.com? You have to remember that the people of this BB do not represent the masses accurately, we are the committed few.
For the rest of the folks in the market the local dist. serves an important role.
When the websites start training retailers and helping Mr. Restaraunter whe he forgets to place his order the story may change. Day in and day out the local folks get the job done. We teach, service and are out there every day building these brands. Should we not write the orders?
