[Sca-cooks] Shipping wine

[Elaine Koogler]

I don't know....maybe it was just this particular office.  But he wound up
having to carry the whole business with him from California to here by way
of Chicago, where he had to stop off for another class.  The good news is
that, despite the fact that it was all packed into two suitcases, we only
lost one bottle!!

That sounds crazy.  I have shipped stuff all over the place in beer and
whiskey boxes and the post office has never had a twitch.  And the UPS folks
didn't go nuts when a friend sent me two glass bottles and one broke in
transit.  They stuck the package in a plastic bag and labeled it damaged in
transit and that was it.
