[Sca-cooks] Message for Olwen

[Elaine Koogler]

I belong to a wine tasting group at a winery in California, and we've run
into a similar problem.  Wineries appear to be the only folks who can
legally ship the stuff, but there are a number of states, etc., where they
cannot ship...Maryland, DC and Virginia being among them.  However, I
suspect that, if the box didn't say "such and such a winery", UPS or
whatever would probably handle small shipments.  Our problem was that when
Phillip tried to ship a case and a half back (my collection of purchases
that hadn't been shipped for about 8 months), UPS wouldn't handle
it...because the boxes both said "Mirassou Winery" on them.  So that's what
we've run into....

The way I found this out originally was one of my
former bosses wrapped a bottle of scotch (I think) and
tried to send it UPS.  When UPS returned it broken
they said that they would not give him any trouble
since he didn't succeed.  Course if he had asked
someone from the packing department to do it for him
they never would have known would they?

A friend's family runs Forks of Cheat Winery in West
Virignia.  Because West Virginia and Virginia do not
play nice together about such things he cannot send
wine to my S.O. in Virginia.  I'm not sure if he can
send it to my house in DC so we generally get a case
from him every year when we see him.  I think, from
what he said, it does have a lot to do with taxes.
