hahaha i knew i'd get creamed for that.
i am familiar with their production methods, brokering left over bulks and then bottling it.
the problem for me is every purchase is a gamble. After you have had 5 bad ones, you spent $10 [$15 in AZ, its 3 buck upchuck here] - might as well
play safe and get quality stuff you know is consistant.
i get plenty good vins at bevmo on the 5 cent sales. Some will net to $5 in bulk. Also Total Wine has deals.

California ABC response
QUESTION:
I would appreciate any assistance or guidance with the following question:
My wife and I are Nevada residents (Nevada driver's licenses and Nevada registered vehicle) and will be vacationing in Baja California (Mexico). We
would like to bring back to our home in Nevada approximately two (2) cases (24 bottles) of assorted Mexican wines and Mexican distilled spirits such
as Brandy and Tequila for personal use and consumption.
We will be entering the United States in San Diego and returning to Nevada with no stops of signifince.
What are the California regulations and requirements regarding bringing this alcohol into California with a final destination of Nevada.
RESPONSE:
Dear Mr. XXXXX,
We have information about personal importation on our Web site: www.abc.ca.gov. The direct link is: California ABC - Importing Alcoholic Beverages
In particular, please review the section entitled “Returning From Mexico.”
The final decision whether to allow any personal importation rests with Customs and Border Protection inspectors.
Be prepared to pay CBP officials the amount of federal tax on the quantity of distilled spirits and wine that exceeds the “duty-free” limit of
one-liter per adult traveler. If you are interested in determining the tax rates please visit the following Web site (www.ttb.gov) and then search for wine and spirits tax rates.
Sincerely,
David K. Wright

But I did have to point out that sometimes it is Mondavi, but more likely Ernie's Discount Squeeze Shop....
I had a friend that was in charge of production there for years and he would call us up and say "Check out lot # so and so- it is prime stuff"
Alas, he retired, and I don't make the gamble anymore.

Web site: www.abc.ca.gov. The direct link is: California ABC - Importing Alcoholic Beverages
Returning from Mexico
Section 23661 of the CA Business and Professions Code limits the quantity of alcohol brought into California from Mexico for personal or household
use as follows:
■A pedestrian crossing the international border on foot may bring in only the amount of alcoholic beverages which are exempt from payment of
duty in accordance with the existing provision of federal law (currently, this is one-liter every 31 days). Note: This limit applies to all persons
regardless of state or country of residence. No waivers are available.
■A California resident crossing the international border in a vehicle that is not a common carrier may bring in only the amount of alcoholic
beverages which are exempt from payment of duty in accordance with the existing provisions of federal law (currently, this is one-liter every 31
days).
■Non-California residents crossing the international border in a vehicle that is not a common carrier can bring with them a reasonable quantity
of alcoholic beverages (up to five cases or 60 liters) provided the beverages are for personal or household use.
■A California resident or any other person crossing the international border via common carrier may bring in a reasonable quantity of alcoholic
beverages (up to five cases or 60 liters) provided the beverages are for personal or household use.
■ No person under 21 years of age may bring in any quantity of alcoholic beverages.
For the purpose of Section 23661 "common carriers" are steamship companies and railroads, or any persons who hold themselves out to the general
public to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any class or classes of passengers or property, or both, for compensation by air or highway, who
actually engage in such transportation, and who hold an interstate alcoholic beverage transporter's permit as required by Section 32109 of the Revenue
and Taxation Code.
Persons who transport only property owned or consigned to themselves shall not be deemed to be common carriers within the meaning of this section.
It should be noted that "common carriers" do not include taxicabs or sightseeing buses crossing the international border.
