We had an idea for a podcast episode, which was going to be "The most expensive wine you can buy at Wal-Mart (specifically, the Highlands Wal-Mart right over the Pa-WV border), and ended up being a faceoff between a "standard" Aussie Shiraz and the cheapest Syrah at Wal-Mart. www.eastcoastwinegeeks.com

The wife's article for examiner this week is a comparison of commonly found wines at both the PA Wine and Spirits stores and at Wal-Mart. The result was unexpected.

Anyone else have any experience buying similar wines both in-state and out of state?

If i were to engage in illegal (albeit unenforced) wine import, i would not discuss it on a public bulletin board. Just sayin'

Otherwise, an interesting topic

Um, yes. I assure you we purchased the wines in PA, and went to West Virginia merely for cost comparison.

It's really rather ridiculous, and nearly impossible to find the law online anywhere. After some long searching, i found a blog article that confirmed it

Thanks for the tip.
