Maryland is one of only three states in which it is a felony to ship a bottle of wine, yet Marylanders can receive ammunition, narcotics and fireworks, all controlled substances, delivered directly to their doors. 2010 is the year this will change in the Maryland General Assembly, and this issue needs your help to do so! Help bring Maryland into the modern era while supporting our nascent wine making industry, creating jobs and preserving open space.
