wtso stopped shipping to Michigan recently
1I called and asked why today, the response was they received a ‘cease and desist’ letter-and they hoped to resolve the issue soon… interesting----anyone have any additional insight? Not sure when this happened but I think in the last few weeks.

not surprised. WTSO is built on a faulty regulatory foundation.

I don’t know but continually railing against a competitor in an open forum seems at the very least unbecoming to me at least, ymmv. Maybe WD should take his beef with WTSO up with the better business bureau?
WTSO taken to task. WD in the house. I’ll grab my popcorn…
On a serious note, call up your Attorney General’s office. From WD’s comment, it sounds like they went by the old adage of it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Well, the pending Supreme Court decision regarding retailers’ ability to ship across state lines may render all this moot. It’s the same basic idea as Granholm but with respect to retailers instead of wineries, so it seems odd that the logic would go differently. But you never know…
@klezman Because retailer’s widgets are the same thing as a substance that this country has passed constitutional amendments about. But you never know…
@KNmeh7 Not sure I follow you. The case is about the interstate commerce of wine. The Granholm decision declared it unconstitutional for a state to have different shipping rules for in-state and out-of-state wineries. It also gave us wine.woot and Casemates. This is the same thing - if a state’s liquor laws allow shipment from in-state retailers then by the same logic as Granholm it will be unconstitutional to disfavour out of state retailers by preventing them from shipping wine.
