Frank Cagle from MetroPulse makes some good points about overhauling TN's liquor laws http://www.metropulse.com/news...

Tennessean article about yesterday's study committee http://www.tennessean.com/article... #tnwinesales
@GoldnI That's a good second mission! Wine in Bellevue would be so convenient.
Tennessean blog post about this morning's study session: http://blogs.tennessean.com/politic...
@GoldnI The bill intro'd last year would permit retail food stores to sell wine only in areas that allow liquor stores
@GoldnI So if the GSD doesn't allow liquor stores, grocery stores wouldn't be allowed to sell wine either (as bill is written today).
Ha! RT @chriswilliams2: If auto was intro'd 2day, would be opposed by Nat'l Assoc. of Buggywhip and Horseshoe Mfrs. #tnwinesales
RT @nitweet What will it take for TN legislators to allow wine sales in stores? I'd like to share your tweets on our 5pm newscast @WKRN
@paevents Good point--if they think the "product" is so dangerous, why do they sell it?
@cathedralheat Part of it is that it's easier to say no than to make a change. Consumer support will be the driving force.
Sen. Ketron: We'll have more meetings. This is very important. We represent the people of TN and listen to our constituents. #tnwinesales
Chip: Liquor store owners have driven from across the state to be here today. #tnwinesales
Chip: This bill is bad for many and convenient for only a few #tnwinesales // What's def. of a few? 62% of Tennesseans?
@Bebopalicious Ha, send us the list when you're done.
Sen. Ketron: Current laws encourage you to go around the law. Liq. store owners have a wife, relative open another store #tnwinesales
Sen. Faulk: Public safety important. If we have more outlets, how do we ensure not more drunk drivers on road. Studies? #tnwinesales
@ElizabethElmore Wouldn't know, since I can't buy it in a grocery store here :). Have to check some other states. Road trip?
Chip: Wine is not food. Wine is not beer. That's why it's restricted to liquor stores. Wine is a high-proof alcohol product. #tnwinesales
Chip: You tweak one thing, and it has unintended consequences somewhere else. #tnwinesales
Chip: RWF campaign not based on consumer support #tnwinesales // Any of you care to disagree?
Chip: Markups in our industry date back to fair trade. Not the case today. Can't compare our margins to grocers'. #tnwinesales
Chip: Wine comes in pints--can fit in pocket and walk out. #tnwinesales
@betheats Thank you, glad you agree! Can 20,000 Tennesseans be wrong?
