Shipping Wine to Illinois

Illinois has been one of those states with relatively open wine shipping laws--laws that I hope Massachusetts will emulate someday soon. However, the bad guys--the local wine distributors and the state legislators that are in their pocket--are moving toward banning all shipping from wineries, both in Illinois and from other states, to consumers in Illinois. The rationale--that minors are ordering lots of wine on the Internets--is completely bogus. Anyway, our friends in Chicago ought to let their state reps know that this is unacceptable. More background is available at the very good wine blog, Fermentation.
