I'd be happy to approach them.<BR/><BR/>When the shipping laws were being discussed (a year or two ago), there was also talk about requiring wineries to go through distributors, but it was never made into a law. So there's nothing preventing a bar owner from dealing with us directly. Except that it's more work for them to deal with individual manufacturers. But, on the other hand, I can give them more background information, point of sale items, etc than they can get from a distributor representing a large number of wineries.<BR/><BR/>HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827002899802696260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21917221.post-1167654482617856202007-01-01T07:28:00.000-05:002007-01-01T07:28:00.000-05:00Glad to see your trying to spread the good news ab...Glad to see your trying to spread the good news about the great local wines in the area. What are the possibilities of your wine showing up in local puds / bars?<BR/><BR/>I have heard various stories from owners of the establishments ranging from indifference to "impossible to do with Michigan Liquor Commission rules". Have you explored this? I (we) would like to open a bottle now and then when we are out for dinner, or just drinks.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
