An attorney says two Indiana wineries and some Ohio connoisseurs will ask a federal court to revive their lawsuit seeking to throw out Ohio's restrictions on shipments from out-of-state wineries.That lawsuit had been on hold in federal court in Columbus during a related Supreme Court case on similar laws in Michigan and New York.
The justices ruled this week that it's unfair to treat in-state and out-of-state wineries differently.
Attorneys for the wine-lovers say they expect the high court's ruling to give them a victory.
Ohio liquor control officials say they would argue that Ohio's restrictions are different from the other two states.
Ohio does allow shipments when the wine is not sold in Ohio stores and the customer agrees to pay state taxes.
One thing that California did for us during our time there was turn us onto wine (yeah, I know, limos and dinner parties are next). One of our favorite labels is not sold in any store I've looked into. Hopefully, one day soon, cheaper wine prices will come to the Buckeye state.
