ABC does a pretty good job, in my estimation at giving people a specific set of rules and guidelines as well as a way to receive a permit. Florida is also really difficult to deal with if you're not a winery. Ok, so maybe California isn't perfect and you'd prefer the fees to be cheaper (wouldn't we all?)....why not compare to say Pennsylvania which is a complete and utter mess.

We ship, we comply and pay the tax. I wish California could take a cue - $10 license fee, $500 in a California bank for 3 years, pay local sales tax for point of shipping. Monthly filing. They are not the model. Florida is. There is also the nightmare that if you comply with all these requirements that you are subject to California State income minimum tax of $800. What a model state.
