Contacting wine vendors

[winecollector]

First of all, I think we need to know where your friends vineyard is located. If its in the USA, what state as well. They would need to apply for proper permits / liscenses with their individual state, as well as with BATF to be able to legally sell their wine.

If your buddies vineyard is located in another country, my recommendation would be to get in touch with some wine importers and negotiants. If the wine is as good as you indicate, turn them onto a few bottles, and they'll take care of the rest. They are the ones that have the importing liscenses, and can take care of the distibution once it's in the country. You may not make as much per bottle compared to marketing it yourself, but you'll likely be able to unload all your wine much easier. Let me know if you would like a list of some negotiants / importers, and I can mail them to you.

Perhaps some other members more experienced in this area than I am can give you some additional suggestions as well. Good luck!
