What to do with 170 bottles of wine + cooler

elderboy02 · 07-30-2009, 01:16 PM

I wouldn't have the first clue as to where to sell it?

Are there any high quality restaurants around that might be interested?

How about a winery?

What about a community auction to raise money for your friend???

If people know what it's for they are more likely to pay more rather than less!!!

It s a no-go from the start. You cannot ship wine these days, at all, unless you're a licensed entity (winery, retailer, auction house).

Greg, What if it's a local community event with the players in house; nothing being shipped?

The problem with an auction of that many be bottles is that you may have create a non profit corp to be the beneficiary. A private party transaction within the state for the entire lot is probably your best bet. As sales tax has already been paid, this would keep the Board of Equalization out of the mix.
I would contact your local office of the CA ABC for more precise answers.
