Supreme Court Alcohol Shipping Case Cert Denied in Block v. Canepa

Ohio asked the Supreme Court to take up its fight over interstate wine shipping. Today, the Court answered: “Petition DENIED.”

The Sixth Circuit had directed the district court to “declare both Restrictions unconstitutional”—Ohio’s restriction on direct wine shipments from out-of-state retailers and its six-bottle limit on wine consumers personally bring into Ohio.

The denial leaves that ruling in place. It supplies no nationwide answer to the retailer-shipping dispute, but it leaves Ohio facing the consequences of its loss. For retailers, wholesalers, and suppliers following the boundaries of the three-tier system, that deserves attention.

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, Tucker Ellis LLP, 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.
