Tom Wark, the Fermentation blogmeister and iconoclast of the three-tiered distribution setup, is spearheading a new initiative for an actual free market in wine sales and distribution. The new organization, Specialty Wine Retailers Association, sports a web site and a blog. None other than Tom himself is the blog's author, so far as I can tell at this early juncture. The org's blog is called Wine Without Borders.
The current setup is a product of the Depression and the end of Prohibition, the allegedly Noble Experiment. That's what you get for catering to the religious right in the sticks.
Just keep your mitts off Social Security, dude. That Depression-born program is going to help me stay alive in a few years.
You'd dare say no to this guy?
