Buying Wine on The Internet in Every State

[Jason]

You know you live in Redneck Florida when you have a full set of salad bowls and they all say "Kool Whip" on them.
Seriously though, Florida is neck and neck with NY for the second biggest market in the country.
Nancy - The winery probably pulled Silver Oak from retail. If you can sell it all for $60 on a wine list, why let retailers beat each other up over it and drive down the going price? Every winery marketer dreams of allocations. Several wineries have specific ratios for on/off premise and if you don't get it right, they'll find someone who can.
I've actually seen cases where the winery doesn't care if the distrib payed for the wine, they want to tell you who will be allowed to buy it from you. Invariably, its a wine we could not give away 5 years prior.
Fortunately, these are the minority.
