Without this […]
Although I wish the Court would have granted cert in Lebamoff, I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the case and wine shipping in general with Wine Searcher.
I am honored to contribute to a Wine Searcher article on the U.S. Supreme Court wine shipping case. A great analysis by Blake Gray.
