Mandatory EFT is Coming Before You know It! Are You Ready?
We first addressed California’s new mandatory electronic fund transfer requirements in November of 2024 here. Implementation is now a little over 3 months away (January 1, 2026) so the time has come to refresh those licensees subject to the new regulations (primarily retailers, wholesalers and those wineries and importers selling domestic or imported beer, wine or spirits under California Type 17 and 18 licenses). Because of the ambiguity of the underlying statute, and the prohibition on accepting payment from a retailer by legal tender (cash or check, except in limited circumstances), we’ve been getting many questions about the practical implications and interpretation of the new statutory requirements. While this blog post addresses some of the follow-up issues, we are sure that as the regulations are implemented, there will be more questions, consternation by some, and frustration by many.

Whiskey Review: Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finished Bourbon
There’s something both amusing and humbling about revisiting our early reviews. In those days, our scores often reflected a stricter stance, and we didn’t always weigh market value as heavily as we do now. Case in point: our review of Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill. Were we too harsh in our judgment, or did we have it right all along? Maybe it’s worth revisiting. Keep reading to see where we ended up. This review is taken from our episode " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire / Jefferson's Pritchard Hill ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Introduction Today, we're diving into Jefferson's Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finished Whiskey, an intriguing expression from Jefferson’s Reserve line. This bourbon starts as a 15-year aged whiskey before being finished for an additional 12 months in French oak casks previously used for Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. At 90.2 proof, it promises a smoother, less punchy experience than some higher
