CALIFORNIA TO FOLLOW IN TEXAS’ FOOTSTEPS?
California is facing retail lawsuits similar to those that recently upheld in Texas, resulting in a preliminary injunction that allows out-of-state retailers to sell directly to Texans.
Cases have been filed on the behalf of individual retail owners in Los Angeles County, Oakland and San Jose that would allow California consumers to order wine from out-of-state retailers.
"The goal is not lawsuits, but opening the national wine market to retailers through a permit system, just as wineries have done," said John Hinman, an attorney with Hinman & Carmichael LLP, a firm that is working with the recently formed Specialty Wine Retailers Association.
