Arizona Wine Law Opens Online Purchases   It took a while -- like making fine wine itself -- but now I am delighted to announce to the online world that Arizona domestic farm wineries came out with a major victory in the Arizona State Legislature.

 

After much negotiation and compromise between alcohol distributors and small, Arizona wineries, the state Senate and House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 1276, 24-4 and 48-5 respectively.

 

Governor Janet Napolitano signed the bill into law, which took effect September 1, 2007, and here we are! Arizona wineries who produce less than 20,000 gallons of wine annually are now allowed to ship their wines out of state and take orders via the Internet, fax, phone or snail mail.

 

Echo Canyon Winery is proud to have played a part in working with the Arizona legislature to get this done. It has been a long time coming.

 

Sincerely,
