Sheriff Steve Freitas announced the FBI's entry into the case in \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/5082446/\" target=\"_blank\">a brief press release\u003c/a> Friday evening. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131025/articles/131029673\" target=\"_blank\">reports this statement\u003c/a> from the FBI in San Francisco:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A spokesman in the FBI’s San Francisco office called the agency’s inquiry a “shooting review,” looking into the “incident itself (and) the deputies’ response.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to look into the facts of that,” said Peter Lee, a public affairs specialist with the bureau. “It’s a civil rights-type of case.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among the prominent issues in the case is a timeline released Thursday by Santa Rosa police, who are also investigating the shooting. That account shows that only 10 seconds passed between the time two deputies first reported spotting Lopez, who was carrying a replica assault rifle that was actually a pellet or BB gun, and the time they reported shots fired. The deputies had pulled up behind Lopez and, according to police and sheriff's accounts, and in that 10 seconds, they called for backup, took cover behind their open car doors, and warned Lopez twice to put down his gun. Police say one of the deputies, a 24-year veteran of the department, opened fire when the teen turned around. The deputy fired eight shots with his service weapon, hitting the eighth grader seven times. The second deputy did not open fire. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez died at the scene of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez's death prompted yet another protest in Santa Rosa on Friday, with hundreds of students marching to the sheriff's office and other locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Rosa Police Department issued a statement Thursday on coroner's findings in the fatal shooting earlier this week of 13-year-old Andy Lopez by a Sonoma County sheriff's deputy. Police say eight shots were fired in the encounter and an autopsy found Thursday the boy had been hit seven times. The statement also includes a timeline that indicates only 10 seconds passed between the time dispatchers recorded a \"suspicious person\" report from deputies — who had spotted Lopez carrying what turned out to be a BB gun that resembled an assault rifle — and the moment one of the officers opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The killing has provoked anger in Santa Rosa, and for the second night in a row hundreds of people marched to protest the shooting Thursday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Rosa Press Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131024/articles/131029764\" target=\"_blank\">reports\u003c/a> the deputy who killed Lopez is a veteran officer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The deputy ... is a 24-year veteran of the force, Assistant Sheriff Lorenzo Dueñas said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His partner, who did not fire his weapon, was a new hire to the Sheriff's Office with 11 years of experience in law enforcement and was in a period of training, Dueñas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dueñas declined to release the deputies' names and said they were investigating a series of threats made to the deputies' lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Police Department gave this account of the preliminary autopsy findings:\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On Thursday, October 24, 2013, the Sonoma County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy of Andy Lopez Cruz. The autopsy was performed by Dr. Arthur Josselson with the Forensic Medical Group. The examination was attended by investigators\u003cbr>\nfrom the Santa Rosa Police Department and the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office. Final autopsy results will not be available for several weeks. The following preliminary information can be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were seven apparent entry wounds discovered in the body. Two of the wounds were determined to be fatal wounds. One of the bullets that resulted in a fatal wound entered the right side of his chest. The second fatal wound was caused by a bullet entering the right hip. There were non-fatal wounds on his right wrist, left bicep, right forearm, right buttocks and right hip. Three bullets were recovered in the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators believe that a total of eight rounds were fired at the scene. Four rounds were recovered at the scene and three rounds were recovered in the body.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Santa Rosa police Lt. Paul Henry issued a narrative of the incident that said the deputies spotted Lopez, called for backup, then pulled up behind the boy. Both deputies then exited their vehicle while taking cover behind the car's doors. Henry's statement continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of the deputies shouted at the subject to, “put the gun down.” A witness in the area reported that he heard the deputy shout two times to “put the gun down.” Initially, the subject’s back was toward the deputies. When the deputy shouted at the subject, the subject began to turn toward the deputies. One of the deputies described that as the subject was turning toward him the barrel of the assault rifle was rising up and turning in his direction.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That deputy said that he feared Lopez was about to begin shooting, so he fired \"several rounds,\" causing Lopez to fall to the ground. The police account emphasized the similarity between the replica rifle Lopez carried, which lacked a bright-orange barrel tip common on toy weapons, and a real AK-47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Rosa police timeline of the incident suggests the deadly episode evolved very rapidly: After the deputies spotted Lopez, dispatchers \"created an incident of a suspicious person\" at 3:14:15 p.m. — that is, 15 seconds after 3:14 p.m. The deputies issued a call for backup four seconds later, at 3:14:19 p.m. They reported \"shots fired\" just six seconds after that, at 3:14:25 p.m., and emergency medical attention was called after another 16 seconds, at 3:14:41 p.m. Here's the verbatim account from the Santa Rosa police:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1514:15 hrs – Sonoma County Sheriff’s Dispatch created an incident of a suspicious person in the area of Moorland Ave. and West Robles Ave.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1514:19 hrs – The Deputies call for emergency assistance from other Deputies in the area\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1514:25 hrs – The Deputies notify dispatch that shots have been fired\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1514:41 hrs – Emergency medical advised to respond to the scene\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Sheriff Steve Freitas announced the FBI's entry into the case in \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/5082446/\" target=\"_blank\">a brief press release\u003c/a> Friday evening. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131025/articles/131029673\" target=\"_blank\">reports this statement\u003c/a> from the FBI in San Francisco:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A spokesman in the FBI’s San Francisco office called the agency’s inquiry a “shooting review,” looking into the “incident itself (and) the deputies’ response.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to look into the facts of that,” said Peter Lee, a public affairs specialist with the bureau. “It’s a civil rights-type of case.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Among the prominent issues in the case is a timeline released Thursday by Santa Rosa police, who are also investigating the shooting. That account shows that only 10 seconds passed between the time two deputies first reported spotting Lopez, who was carrying a replica assault rifle that was actually a pellet or BB gun, and the time they reported shots fired. The deputies had pulled up behind Lopez and, according to police and sheriff's accounts, and in that 10 seconds, they called for backup, took cover behind their open car doors, and warned Lopez twice to put down his gun. Police say one of the deputies, a 24-year veteran of the department, opened fire when the teen turned around. The deputy fired eight shots with his service weapon, hitting the eighth grader seven times. The second deputy did not open fire. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez died at the scene of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez's death prompted yet another protest in Santa Rosa on Friday, with hundreds of students marching to the sheriff's office and other locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Police say eight shots were fired in the encounter and an autopsy found Thursday the boy had been hit seven times. The statement also includes a timeline that indicates only 10 seconds passed between the time dispatchers recorded a \"suspicious person\" report from deputies — who had spotted Lopez carrying what turned out to be a BB gun that resembled an assault rifle — and the moment one of the officers opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The killing has provoked anger in Santa Rosa, and for the second night in a row hundreds of people marched to protest the shooting Thursday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Rosa Press Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20131024/articles/131029764\" target=\"_blank\">reports\u003c/a> the deputy who killed Lopez is a veteran officer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The deputy ... is a 24-year veteran of the force, Assistant Sheriff Lorenzo Dueñas said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His partner, who did not fire his weapon, was a new hire to the Sheriff's Office with 11 years of experience in law enforcement and was in a period of training, Dueñas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dueñas declined to release the deputies' names and said they were investigating a series of threats made to the deputies' lives.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Police Department gave this account of the preliminary autopsy findings:\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On Thursday, October 24, 2013, the Sonoma County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy of Andy Lopez Cruz. The autopsy was performed by Dr. Arthur Josselson with the Forensic Medical Group. The examination was attended by investigators\u003cbr>\nfrom the Santa Rosa Police Department and the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office. Final autopsy results will not be available for several weeks. The following preliminary information can be released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were seven apparent entry wounds discovered in the body. Two of the wounds were determined to be fatal wounds. One of the bullets that resulted in a fatal wound entered the right side of his chest. The second fatal wound was caused by a bullet entering the right hip. There were non-fatal wounds on his right wrist, left bicep, right forearm, right buttocks and right hip. Three bullets were recovered in the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators believe that a total of eight rounds were fired at the scene. Four rounds were recovered at the scene and three rounds were recovered in the body.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Santa Rosa police Lt. Paul Henry issued a narrative of the incident that said the deputies spotted Lopez, called for backup, then pulled up behind the boy. Both deputies then exited their vehicle while taking cover behind the car's doors. Henry's statement continues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of the deputies shouted at the subject to, “put the gun down.” A witness in the area reported that he heard the deputy shout two times to “put the gun down.” Initially, the subject’s back was toward the deputies. When the deputy shouted at the subject, the subject began to turn toward the deputies. One of the deputies described that as the subject was turning toward him the barrel of the assault rifle was rising up and turning in his direction.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That deputy said that he feared Lopez was about to begin shooting, so he fired \"several rounds,\" causing Lopez to fall to the ground. The police account emphasized the similarity between the replica rifle Lopez carried, which lacked a bright-orange barrel tip common on toy weapons, and a real AK-47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Not at the age of 64.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve got a bad back,” Bruno said. “A lot of gardeners my age are still hanging in here, we need to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without this,” Bruno added, pointing to his leaf blower, “raking and doing all the extra work? Some gardeners are in their 70s they can’t even stand up straight, but they need to keep working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruno says he may buy an electric blower if he has to, but he thinks the city should pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma officials estimate replacing the city’s own gas blowers with electric would cost about $10,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Meanwhile, some diehards in this debate say the rake is the only answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think until they ban the leaf blower completely, we’re not going to have any peace and quiet,” says Sonoma resident Regina Baker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Baker says it’s not just the noise pollution that bothers her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also that the blowers blast whatever is on the grass or asphalt into the air.

Of course, Monterey also lays claim to a \u003ca href=\"http://montereywines.org/monterey-wines/42-varietals/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long list of varieties\u003c/a>. So I called Jon Fredrickson of \u003ca href=\"http://www.gfawine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates\u003c/a> a wine industry consultant in Woodside, hoping for an unbiased analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monterey has built up a number of interesting growing regions,” he said. “It has nowhere near the number of wineries you would find in Napa or Sonoma. But it’s less well known so you get more attention when you visit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me that Monterey is too cool for some of the wines that made Napa’s reputation, such as cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Wineries are also spread farther apart in Monterey, so the avid wine taster will have to do more driving between sips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a lot of good chardonnay is coming out of Monterey. And when it comes to pinot noir, he said, Monterey County’s Santa Lucia Highlands—in the hills west of the Salinas Valley—can match any in the world, including the Carneros district of southern Sonoma and Napa counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And something else distinguishes Santa Lucia Highlands wines, said Fredrickson: “You get a lot of value for your money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Click on the pins to find out what wine costs at these three wineries in the Santa Lucia Highlands\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d45e4aa79845b0bde&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=36.458845,-121.442871&spn=0.773158,1.167297&z=9&output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\nView \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d45e4aa79845b0bde&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=36.458845,-121.442871&spn=0.773158,1.167297&z=9&source=embed\">Santa Lucia Highlands\u003c/a> in a larger map\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My ears pricked up at that. The last time I visited Napa wineries, I was stunned to be asked for money up front just for the privilege of tasting in their well-appointed rooms, amid shelves stocked with pricey T-shirts, corkscrews and pâté.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a far cry from my youth in Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley, when tasting rooms were sometimes just tables set up in the barrel rooms, and the wines were poured by the winemakers themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I quickly realized why wineries impose fees for tastings now. Most of the bottles are outside my price range, and this is just about the only way they’re going to get any money out of folks like me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Click on the pins to find out what wine costs at three wineries in Carneros. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d46077d490e76a1ac&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=38.240337,-122.33139&spn=0.377514,0.583649&z=10&output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"620\" height=\"400\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\nView \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213502483863484932538.0004d46077d490e76a1ac&msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=38.240337,-122.33139&spn=0.377514,0.583649&z=10&source=embed\">Carneros\u003c/a> in a larger map\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I was curious to see how Monterey’s Santa Lucia Highlands and Napa’s Carneros stacked up in terms of actual dollars. For a true grape-to-grape comparison, I focused on pinot noirs in the two regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I called three Santa Lucia Highlands wineries mentioned by Frederickson: Paraiso Vineyard, Talbott Vineyard and Hahn Winery: Then I contacted three Carneros wineries named by Simpson: Saintsbury, Acacia Vineyard and Etude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No doubt the comparison falls short of statistical significance, but the numbers seemed to confirm Frederickson’s point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, at Etude winery in Carneros, the cheapest pinot noir is $42 a bottle, and it costs $20 just to get in the door. By contrast, Hahn Winery in Santa Lucia Highlands has a pinot noir for $14 (though not all the grapes in that wine are from that region), and tastings cost $10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the least expensive pinot noirs at the three Carneros wineries average $37 a bottle. The Santa Lucia bargain pinot noirs average $20 a bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true of tasting-room fees — an average of $20 for the Carneros wineries versus $8.33 for the Santa Lucia wineries. And two of the three Santa Lucia wineries will waive the fee if you buy a bottle of wine. None of the Carneros wineries do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I can’t go back in time, but I may try going south next time I head to the wine country.\u003c/p>\n\n",

By contrast, Hahn Winery in Santa Lucia Highlands has a pinot noir for $14 (though not all the grapes in that wine are from that region), and tastings cost $10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, the least expensive pinot noirs at the three Carneros wineries average $37 a bottle. The Santa Lucia bargain pinot noirs average $20 a bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true of tasting-room fees — an average of $20 for the Carneros wineries versus $8.33 for the Santa Lucia wineries. And two of the three Santa Lucia wineries will waive the fee if you buy a bottle of wine. None of the Carneros wineries do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One of the main things that really changed is that about a year ago some of those regulations were relaxed, so a third-party provider like Amazon can now ship direct to consumers, as long as the winery itself remains in charge of the sale. That sort of paved the way for regulators to get back into the scene. \u003c!--more-->\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: The public relations director at Rodney Strong Vineyards, Robert Larson, really summed up the complicated nature of wine shipping when he said to you, “It’s a whole lot easier to send a gun to another state than it is to send a bottle of wine.” Even with the change that you just talked about, it’s still complicated, isn’t it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: It’s absolutely still complicated. And you’ll see, Amazon, even with their launch, is only going to be shipping to 13 states so far. So while this is a big change for the wine industry and for wineries’ ability to reach to states where they might not have much of a brand presence, it’s really the beginning phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: What’s the buzz in the North Coast wine region about Amazon’s move into the business?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: Well, I think people are really intrigued by it and excited about what it might mean. And I think it’s also a little early to tell how this is really going to change things. But there’s a few large Sonoma County wineries that are participating in this, and Napa of course. But it’s not obvious that there’s a huge presence of North Coast wineries that are participating at this point, so it’ll be interesting to see how it unravels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Who do you think is likely to benefit the most?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20121108/BUSINESS/121109591\">Amazon launches online wine shop\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa Press Democrat)\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: I think the perception is that it really depends on how a winery has structured its business. The shipping is going to be quite expensive for them. You’ll see that the customers who buy wine through Amazon.com are going to get good deals on the shipping, but the wineries are having to handle the cost, so they’re picking up the slack in terms of those discounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin:\u003c/strong> And who has reason to be concerned?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: I think some people would say that distributors have reason to be concerned. There’s a three-tier system that wineries have to navigate: they have to typically sell through a distributor and then a wholesaler and then a retailer. Amazon selling wine online sort of cuts out one step of the process, but you know some seem concerned about that, and others feel that it’s not really going to eat away at distributors’ business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: And ultimately, what’s the benefit to consumers for using Amazon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: They have an interesting setup on their web site. If you’re looking for Russian River Chardonnay, you can literally go through their web site, choose Sonoma County, choose a region, and search that way. So, they are providing an interesting way of shopping, in which you can really hone in on what you’re looking for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, it sounds like the shipping is pretty good, too. So people who want to ship some wine for the holidays to their family, as long as their family lives in one of those 13 states, they’ll maybe have an easier time doing that and pay less for shipping.\u003c/p>\n\n",

So while this is a big change for the wine industry and for wineries’ ability to reach to states where they might not have much of a brand presence, it’s really the beginning phase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: What’s the buzz in the North Coast wine region about Amazon’s move into the business?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: Well, I think people are really intrigued by it and excited about what it might mean. And I think it’s also a little early to tell how this is really going to change things. But there’s a few large Sonoma County wineries that are participating in this, and Napa of course. But it’s not obvious that there’s a huge presence of North Coast wineries that are participating at this point, so it’ll be interesting to see how it unravels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Who do you think is likely to benefit the most?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20121108/BUSINESS/121109591\">Amazon launches online wine shop\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa Press Democrat)\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: I think the perception is that it really depends on how a winery has structured its business. The shipping is going to be quite expensive for them. You’ll see that the customers who buy wine through Amazon.com are going to get good deals on the shipping, but the wineries are having to handle the cost, so they’re picking up the slack in terms of those discounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin:\u003c/strong> And who has reason to be concerned?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: I think some people would say that distributors have reason to be concerned. There’s a three-tier system that wineries have to navigate: they have to typically sell through a distributor and then a wholesaler and then a retailer. Amazon selling wine online sort of cuts out one step of the process, but you know some seem concerned about that, and others feel that it’s not really going to eat away at distributors’ business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: And ultimately, what’s the benefit to consumers for using Amazon?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cathy Bussewitz\u003c/strong>: They have an interesting setup on their web site. If you’re looking for Russian River Chardonnay, you can literally go through their web site, choose Sonoma County, choose a region, and search that way. So, they are providing an interesting way of shopping, in which you can really hone in on what you’re looking for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, it sounds like the shipping is pretty good, too. So people who want to ship some wine for the holidays to their family, as long as their family lives in one of those 13 states, they’ll maybe have an easier time doing that and pay less for shipping.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
