After re-reading the Total Wine PR I believe we are going to learn the name of a national distributor very soon. I talked to TW and asked if they can order me some Marani and have it shipped to my local store (since i can't get it shipped to myself). He was able to locate the item in the system but they can only get product from licensed distributors in the state of MN, so TW's don't ship between states. Because TW is a national retailer and Costco is national retailer it just makes to much sense not to have a national distributor.

The PR also states that they will be in other locations in the near future....hmmm..looks to me like they are already stocked in all the CA locations, so what does more locations mean? There are no more locations in CA.

They need more product and they need it yesterday....why? not for an extra 14 stores. FL, WA, MN, AZ all have TW's....just saying

NY is a completely different animal all its own.

Something is brewing...........
