Laws pretaining to wine tastings

[Thomas]

RAD, the latest in NY, is that a wine shop can have a tasting without a winery or distributor rep on-hand. But this fellow is not talking about a wine tasting in a wine shop. He is talking about a bunch of merchants (who have no license to sell wine) offering tastings as a promotion device, and that could be a problem in some states, especially in the area of liability.

I assume that since he/she/whatever has not responded to our response, the matter is either dropped or going in a new direction...
