New Mexico Wine Lovers
Dear Friends,
We strongly encourage you to visit www.freethegrapes.org and sign-up for their email list so we can continue to ship wine directly to you and improve consumer choise in wine in New Mexico.
We you know, better laws governing winery-to-consumer shipping privileges are helping to improve your ability to purchase and enjoy your favorite wines. We believe that consumers, not wholesaler middle men, should decide what wines you can purchase and enjoy.
In January and February, New Mexico's state legislators will consider proven direct shipping language that promises to continue direct-to-consumer wine shipment and improve choice in wine by allowing ANY licensed winery, regardless of its location, to ship a limited amount of wine to you. This legislation would replace the outmoded 'reciprocal' law with the model direct shipping permit bill working successfully in the majority of states.
But the wine industry needs your help. A consumer-winery grassroots coalition, Free the Grapes!, has been channeling consumer frustration over shipping prohibitions into constructive action since 1998. By signing up to their private, confidential email list, you'll be contacted with updates and tools to help you quickly, easily get your opinion expressed to your state legislators.
So please visit www.freethegrapes.org today, click on the "sign-up!" button, and help enact proven legislation that will benefit wine lovers like you.
Sincerely,
The Sokol Blosser Family and Staff
