2010 Maryland Wine Bill is Dead

March 8th, 2010
According to this article in the Baltimore Sun, it looks like the bill is dead.   My older coverage is here:
(03/04/2010) Maryland Wine Bill Update
(02/18/2010) Sen. Joan Carter Conway Singlehandedly Kills MD Wine Bill
(02/08/2010) Maryland’s Wine Siege Continues
(09/20/2009) Maryland Direct Wine Shipment
(09/07/2009) Maryland Has Arcane Liquor Laws
I’m not really concerned with whether or not you agree with this legislation, but you can no longer argue the fact that Maryland’s legislature is run via back-room deals and special interest money.    The fact that the majority of the committee supported the legislation, but the legislation was not allowed to come up for a vote overwhelmingly proves this.
The irony is that Maryland, still known as the “free state”, uses a moniker that was earned during the 1920’s during protests of the federally mandated prohibition of alcohol. Yes – I live in the “free state” unless I want to drink wine from that other country none as California.
