On a voting spree, N.J. Senate backs winery sales

Small wineries could directly ship wine to consumers and retailers under legislation that passed the Senate, 23-13, on Thursday, one of dozens of bills that lawmakers sped through in their last voting session of the year.”New Jersey wineries are by and large considered among the best in the country, but consumer access to these wines is still severely limited. This legislation will change all of that,” Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D., Gloucester), a sponsor, said in a statement. http://bit.ly/tQgeb0
