Florida Ttb Licenses

Hi, I'm starting a wine brand and my product will be co-packed in NY since I couldn't find a co-packer in Florida to do so. I need to get a license but I'm not sure which license to get. I can't get a manufacturer license because I don't manufacture the product in Florida. I can't get a distributor license because I don't own or lease a warehouse since I'm outsourcing that service to a logistics company. The importer license only allows me to bring the product into the state and drop it at the distributor's warehouse but they can only take about 1-3 pallet per order and is not economical to ship one pallet at a time. Any advice? Thank you so much in advance for your time the help.

Wine Refrigerator Odors

We recently experienced musty odors coming from our 10 year old U-line wine refrigerator. Thinking it needed replacing we removed it, let the cabinet area air out for about 3 weeks and installed a new unit. After a week the odor has returned. When I open the new unit I can smell the same odor coming from inside it. We don’t store old wines, we normally replenish it every 5 to 6 weeks. Due you have any clue why this would be occurring? Thank you
