Would I ship a case to a consumer? Sure. A case a month, heck no that's asking for trouble....our 2 bottles per month is fine and that's all I can really worry about.

But, if you take a closer look at the actual <a href="" target="_blank">statute</a> in this case, it says: <blockquote>The holder of a out-of-state winery direct shipper ’s permit may not: deliver to the same consumer in this state more than nine gallons of wine within any calendar month or more than 36 gallons of wine within any 12-month period. </blockquote> In other words, a direct shipper should neither deliver more than 9 gallons per calendar month NOR ship more than 36 gallons per year. This is consistent with conversations with the TABC as well, so I definitely would not ship 36 gallons all at once. Mike,
