Pick Up Wines And

We're a vineyards in CA which are able to sell wines to customers. We have an individual client who lives in GA and would like to purchase 300 cases of wines from our vineyards. It's supposed to perform a direct shipment, or a distributor may help finish the shipment. But she wants to drive a truck by herself, pick up the wines in CA and then drive back to GA. Is it legal for her to do that?

Viognier - Condrieu - Usa

I love condrieu but the prices limit my purchases. Are there any 100% viognier wines made in America that use malolactic fermentation and at least 50% oak aging? (I would not expect them to be the same, but worth trying.) Thanks

Flat Bottle Bottom Versus Deep Dimple

I have heard many times that the deeper the dimple on a bottle of wine the better the quality. Is there any "truth" to this. I have actually started to notice on my own and I think it has some merit, but wondered your opinion/expertise on the matter. Thanks!

Unopened Bottle , 10 Years Old, Still Drinkable?

I was given a boxed bottle of Moet Chandon Brut Imperial, for a birthday and have been keeping it in my wardrobe for a special occasion. Serial number on the label is: 3 185370 000335. It is about 10 years old, possibly more. I would like to use it now. Will it be alright?. I have been keeping it upright and dark, but not so cool as in a cellar. Thank you, regards Margaret Kent
