We need to be able to sell from our distillery tasting room. It's the only way to tell your story to consumers and know they understand what you're doing, distributors are fighting back hard. California is one of the top five markets for spirits in the world, and they think they're going to give up market share if we can sell out of our distilleries. New York, Colorado, Washington, and Oregon all leapfrogged us. California is down at the bottom with Alabama and Kansas.
