I am a winery that is also a distillery located in California. I have been told that tasting and selling my spirits (various forms of brandy) and wines direct to customers in the same facility is legal as long the spirits are distilled from wine. I believe this to be true because I have observed others doing it. But I have a lot questions:
As a winery, I can sell wine by the glass. As a DSP, can I sell shots?
Can I sell cocktails made with my spirits at a public or private event in my facility?
Can I sell direct to bars and restaurants?
Can I sample my spirits at an off-premise wine tasting event?
Your experience is greatly appreciated.
