tsunami disaster relief

[wondersofwine]

I plan to contribute a small check to International Rescue Committee (one of the charities I already support through Combined Federal Campaign.) Their emphasis is working with refugees and displaced persons around the world and they already have people on the ground in Sumatra since 2001.

I might consider donating to the wine auctions but am a bit concerned about the logistics--legality of shipping across state lines, boxing the wines in such a way that they arrive intact, etc. Have you done this before Newsguy and can you offer any tips?
