Wine And Cheese Pairing Monthly Club Ships To Pa?

Hello, I am thinking Christmas gift. Do you know of any monthly wine and cheese pairings gifts that ship to PA? Hoping for a quick response, J
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

I believe you're asking about a wine club which delivers both wine and cheese to a Pennsylvania destination. That's somewhat complicated because shipments of wine from outside of the state to PA residents are prohibited as a new law permitting direct shipping has not yet been enacted as I post this answer. You could contact Wine.com, which offers wine and cheese gift baskets, and their website indicates they can ship to Pennsylvania (probably using an in-state fulfillment method). Another option for wine is the State of Pennsylvania itself, which operates the retail stores in the state. Their specialized website, FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com, says they will deliver to any PA address. Of course, proof of age (21 or older) will be required upon delivery. You may find it necessary to use separate merchants for the wine and the cheese. If you go that route, both MurraysCheese.com and ArtisanalCheese.com have fantastic selections. I'm sure you'll be able to put something together even though it may take a bit of work!
