Kicking off Father’s Day weekend in style

Tastings? You want ‘em, we got ‘em. What better way to kick off Father’s Day weekend?

Some interesting comments have trickled in on yesterday’s entry entitled New wine laws dropped into state budget bill with little examination or debate. There also is an update on that entry that includes a link to the new wine laws’ language that is MUCH easier to read (not easier to understand, but easier to read). Worth a click.

Also hot off the presses this morning: a restaurant review of the new Bonefish Grill that opened last month in front of the Dayton Mall.

So click on “continue reading” to access the tastings list, which comes to Uncorked via a Dayton-based wine listserv. For tastings and events in the Cincinnati area, check out Michelle’s blog at My Wine Education.

Happy Father’s Day, and cheers!

New wine laws dropped into state budget bill with little examination or debate

**UPDATE: With the help of an Ohio Senate staffer, I have finally found a link to the new wine shipping and wholesaler language that appears poised to become law, in a much easier-to-read format. After clicking on this link, scroll to page 72 of the pdf file, item number 135 (On the printed document itself, the page number is listed as 68). END UPDATE

Well, apparently a version of the wine amendment that we mentioned a couple weeks ago was dropped into the state budget bill which passed the Ohio Senate yesterday unanimously and which will now go to a House-Senate conference committee to resolve differences between the two versions before heading to Gov. Strickland for his signature.

So the provisions of the new wine laws (click on “continue reading” to access the amendment’s language) appear likely to become law with precious little examination or debate, as a free-standing bill would receive.

Those who represent the Wine and Beer Wholesalers of Ohio and the Ohio Wine Producers Association appear satisfied with the new laws. Now, tell me who was at the table representing consumers’ interests when the lobbyists hammered out this language?

I invite those who had a hand in forming this legislation to let us know how consumers will benefit from these changes in Ohio’s wine laws, and why attaching this amendment to the budget bill was a preferred method of creating law than allowing the legislation to move through the General Assemblyl as a separate bill.

To view the amendment (my apologies for the confusing “line breaks” in the amendment), click on “continue reading” and let us know what you think of these new regulations.

Cheers!
