Wineries jump at chance for direct sales to Massachusetts

The Massachusetts out-of-state direct wine shipping law went into effect on Jan. 1, and already more than 100 wineries have obtained licenses to ship straight to your door. Here’s the link to my story published in The Sun of Lowell on Friday explaining the change.

Mass. direct wine shipping law needed no time to ferment

In appreciation to Massachusetts for approving the new law, Doubleback Winery owner Drew Bledsoe is offering free shipping from Washington State to Bay State consumers who order his wine. That’s like saving the cost of one bottle of his premium Cabernet Sauvignon if you purchased a case. Go to www.doubleback.com and sign up for details.
