Default These Outdated Laws...

....really suck. I just moved from Colorado to Ohio and now have to deal
with two issues:

1. No shipping direct from wineries.
2. I don't know if the rest of you are aware of this, but I just found out
that all wine in Ohio retail stores has to be marked up 130% from the
wholesale price. This is the law in Ohio. Now it doesn't apply to beer or
spirits, just wine. Every wine establishment I have tried has had prices
way, way above what I used to pay in Colorado at any of Lucas Liquor,
Applejacks, Davidson's, Argonauts or County Line. I'm finding typical
prices 30-50% more than I paid in Colorado. Not to mention that the
selection is awful in Ohio due to, I would believe, the inability to sell
much wine at these prices.

All I can say is that this really, really sucks.

Ok, now that I have that off my chest, I have a question in regards to #1.
Someone told me that if I have the wine shipped to a place of business, it
would be ok to buy direct from a winery. I find this hard to believe, but
does anyone have any insight on this? Outside of that, how the hell do I
get my hands on decent, correctly priced wine in Ohio?

Lastly, what the heck is going on nowadays in regards to all these outdated
laws?
