Wine enthusiast? Liquor retailer? Today at 1:30 CST, watch the Mississippi direct wine shipping oral arguments live! Bonus: we’ve got the link and the video.

That’s right, the oral arguments in this historic wine shipping case involving the rights of in-state citizens and out-of-state retailers to set their contractual terms and receive alcohol through third-party shippers like FedEx will be broadcast live today. 

Here’s why this case about retailers shipping alcohol to residents of other states is important.  

So take a break and have lunch today watching this first of its kind liquor shipping dispute. Beer, wine, and spirits retailers, especially those thinking about setting up programs to sell online shouldn’t take their eyes off this matter as it provides review of an as-of-yet untested system for establishing a legal fiction to allow interstate shipping.

Ashley Brandt

Hi there! I’m happy you’re here. My name is Ashley Brandt and I’m an attorney in Chicago representing clients in the Food and Beverage, Advertising, Media, and Real Estate industries. A while back I kept getting calls and questions from industry professionals and attorneys looking for advice and information on a fun and unique area of law that I’m lucky enough to practice in. These calls represented a serious lack of, and need for, some answers, news, and information on the legal aspects of marketing and media. I've got this deep seeded belief that information should be readily available and that the greatest benefit from the information age is open access to knowledge... so ... this blog seemed like the best way to accomplish that. I enjoy being an attorney and it’s given me some amazing opportunities, wonderful experiences, and an appreciation and love for this work. I live in Chicago and work at an exceptional law firm, Goldstein & McClintock, with some truly brilliant people. Feel free to contact me at any time with any issues, comments, concerns… frankly, after reading this far, I hope you take the time to at least let me know what you think about the blog and how I can make it a better resource.
