Caddyshack?

I thought with the “don’t sell yourself short” comment from Nate, amid a discussion of legal issues, who better to reference than Judge Elihu Smails (and Ty Webb).

you and me, bud. we’re right there and a heck of a team.

i set the ball on the tee and you hit it out of the park…or at least out of the infield.

Cinderella story.

Within California, I highly, highly recommend Elaine Wellesley from Wellesley on Wine for licensing and compliance setup. She is fantastic to work with and (frustratingly) thorough. We started working with her back when she was with Beer and Wine Services and she did a great job ushering us successfully to a Type 02. Thankfully, she left Beer and Wine Services so we were able to keep working with her because them I fired.

PM me for details or to get Elaine’s contact information.

Ahhh…the thread is revived.

Another question for all those in the compliance know. Has anyone had experience with revising past 702’s?

I made an itsy bitsy mistake and overlooked something (some Tax-Paid Removals of cased goods). My understanding is that I need to go back and revise that month’s 702 and every one following it to reflect the true numbers. And probably include a memo claiming mea culpa and begging for forgiveness.

I certainly don’t want to put my hand up and have them come and visit me, though. Anyone had experience with this?

Great idea for a post Nate!

I make wine at a bonded crush facility just outside of Los Angeles and I’m not looking to start a full-fledged wine company with distribution. At this point the wine is for my own consumption.

However, down the road I will probably want that opportunity to distribute/sell my wines to the public and to restaurants. That said, can someone clarify which licenses I will need? Will I need all of the below licenses?

• (Federal) Basic Wholesalers Permit
• (State of CA) Type 17, Wholesaler
• (State of CA) Type 20, Retail

Brett,
FWIW, a wholesaler or retail can’t make wine; can’t even touch it. You can buy it from a winery (already made) and then sell it (after having the winery label it to your spec.) but if you make it and want to sell it, you have to be a Winegrower (O2).

Thanks for the info Jim!
