One of the things about living in Tennessee - aside from corrupt cops, hillbilly rednecks, meth, meth mouth, strippers on meth, truckers on meth, hookers on meth, hunters, hunters on meth... okay, aside from all the drawbacks of living in a bass-ackward state - one of the worst things about living in Tennessee are the alcohol laws. There is a fat, disgusting lobbyist called "The Goose" who supposedly got his name because he wined and dined all the fat, disgusting, corrupt lawmakers of the state - and their daddies. He wants the laws the way they are because... well, fat, corrupt people called "The Goose" tend to avoid questioning.
Anyway, Governor Phil Bredesen recently signed a law allowing the sale of wines directly to consumers - meaning we can finally (legally) buy wine and have it shipped to us! I'm no big wine connoisseur or anything, but that's pretty cool! Especially since I'm also not a big beer-lover. My preferred drink is a beer with frequent rounds of girly shots (with names like "Alabama Slamma," "Swee-Tarts," "Sour Apples," "Lemondrops..." Wha-at?), but I'm not here to talk about myself:
The law only went into effect this summer and it isn't like wines are a big pastime in Tennessee, so I wanted to direct you to this great resource, where you can find - and add - online wine retailers who ship to Tennessee.
