wine with a beef braised in beer dish

There are no state run liquor stores in NY, but there is a corrupt alcohol control system, which can be said for just about every state.

In NY beer is sold only in grocery stores; wine and spirits are sold in liquor stores. is-wine is a wine shop. Our license is to sell only wine, including sparkling and fortified wines.

In NY a liquor or wine shop is prohibited from selling food, including water and soda mixers--makes a lot of sense doesn't it. But it does, after you consider the power of food lobbies and wholsale liquor lobbies, who, for now, are content with their separate domains. But the food lobbies are making inroads toward wine in grocery stores. I embrace the idea for two reasons: my shop could then include among its special wines food (olive oils and other so-called gourmet goods) and the big food chains can have the bulk, bad wine market all to themselves.
