Grinds My Gears!!!

[GMtoblat]

Sorry if this is considered political, Mods please move if so.


CAUTION RANT AHEAD:


DO YOU KNOW WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS?!?! ALCHOHOL LAWS!!! What is up with regulating the sale and distribution of Alchohol? I thought the prohibition was over. Here's the back story to my rant; I'm trying to buy my wife's favorite wine that we had discovered while living in Virginia, a German Sweet Red, can't find it any where. I figure Big Red could find it or no one could. Well they couldn't, not in Indiana any way. So after a long process of trying to go through distributors with no help, I find a website that has it. But wait, they can't ship to 35 of the 50 states due to interstate shipping laws!! Why the regulation? Is it dangerous to ship said substance? That brings me to the no sale on Sunday, that makes zero sense. What happened to seperation of church and state? Enlighten me Please!!! Now I need to figure something else out for my wifes birthday

Have you tried the Liquor Barn in Lexington? Basically the Sams Club or Walmart of liquor stores.

Actually Sam's club isn't a bad suggestion. They have a HUGE selection of wine.


Also I would encourage you to sample some of Indiana's own winery offerings. You may just find something you like even better that is produced locally. Wineries of Indiana

This is not an all encompassing list so check out this thread I started a while back for a more complete list. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/break-room/289741-list-indiana-microbreweries.html

California can wine ship to IN, why can't the other state?

What separation of church and state?

I've been trying to find a bottle of Kalishnikov vodka for a couple of years. (Standard bottle not souvenir).

i don't even want to drink it. I want to build a nice wood wall cabinet with a glass front. Inside it has an AK47, bottle of vodka, and a Russian winter cap, with other trinkets. A small bronze plaque that says: "Break in case of emergency." Man cave dream....

I basicaly did this same rant to my wife, she's from indiana, she thought I went through an awfull lot just for $6 bottles of wine. She suggested we find a new wine and that we needed to do the tour at Oliver, I haven't been to impressed with what I have tried thus far but I keep an open mind.

I haven't been there, but you might try Jungle Jim's (Jungle Jim's International Market ) It's in Ohio though, so it might be a drive. My friend loves that place and a teacher I had said that you could spend hours there just going through the wine section, and that's no including everything else they have.
