    Coffee and cake prices

    Just so I didn't come off as completely naive in my answer, I did a quick dive looking for several common wines in Colombia, and looked at a few restaurant beverage lists.

    Bringing Argentine Wine to the US on a Plane?

    The fact is the TTB, not the state, is the final word on importation, and the CA ABC lets you know that on the very page you link to. It's not a good idea to let people think that they will face no scrutiny from the CBP agent when they arrive. I pity the person that faces down a grumpy jerk or...
