- wine shipping to Tennessee
I live in Nashville TN and, even though it is now legally permissible to ship wine to Tennessee,most of the sites I visit, following a recommendation on Snooth and elesewhere, won't ship to TN. Can anyone help with a list of wine sources that will ship to Tennessee.
Thanks, Idit

That's a tough one Idit, sorry I can't be more helpful.
Have you actually spoken with stores about shipping to TN?
It's very possible that the stores web-sites have yet to be updated. Many stores rely on the information they get from their shippers, usually DHL and/or Fedex so if either of them have greenlighted shipments to TN that is usually enough to get a store to ship.
Give it a try.
You can also direct them to this page:http://wineinstitute.shipcompliant.com/StateDetail.aspx?StateId=63
Hope this is helpful.

Wow, and I thought I had it bad living in Ohio.
I think your best bet is to watch larger wine stores like BevMo.com, Wine.com, etc., as they're the ones with the biggest desire and most resources available to try and push through the bureaucracy of all the paperwork to register as a wine retailer in Tennessee.
If you contact them as Greg suggests, they may also be able to give you a time frame they expect to be able to ship to you by as well.
Best of luck with your search!

well, I don't know about retail outlets, but my winery does ship to TN, a lot of it has to do with both the shipping companies, and (from a winery perspective) a winery's compliance within the state. We have a full time compliance person and pay for liquor licenses and fees in nearly all 50 states, and so we are able to ship to most states...TN included. I'm not sure, but I think things are even more tricky for retail outlets.
The problem with wineries is that many cannot and/or will not bother with the time, money, and effort involved with each state's laws and rules so you get a different story from one facility to another...bottom line there is no consistency, so if you visit a wine region make sure to ask at each place you go, because each one will be different

Good to find this thread... I've begun to keep track of wineries that have cleared the requirements to ship to TN - hopefully there will be a steady flow from now on. You can check my list at http://tnwine.blogspot.com . Originally, it was just for me and my friends but I figure we could all use a central resource.

If I read the law correctly, stores and distributors will not be able to ship to Tennessee, but we are able to have two cases per year per vineyard shipped to us (provided the vineyard has filled out the appropriate paperwork). h2w4 is right - vineyards that have their licence are all over the place. For example, Argyle and Merry Edwards can ship, but someone like Bonny Doon can't yet.
