The California Cash and Credit Laws: Moving to Mandatory Electronic Fund Transfers Between Wholesalers and Retailers on January 1, 2026 – Cash is no longer Legal Tender

We have parsed the byzantine California credit laws related to buying and selling alcohol many times and in many contexts, most recently in 2017, when Booze Rules published an extensive article on the history, application, penalties, and enforcement of the federal and California credit laws (Business and Professions Code Section 25509). The impetus for the 2017 article was an ABC crackdown on credit practices resulting in ABC accusations (that we defended) against industry members on the supplier and retailer tiers, and class action litigation over the calculation and assessment of mandatory late charges under the credit law against multiple wholesalers, including Southern Glazers.

Great photo of Isenhower, located in Walla Walla, Washington. It is my pleasure to share the wines from Isenhower, founded in 1999 by Denise and Brett Isenhower.

L'Angolo Estate

Great new releases by winemaker Chase Renton and his L’Angolo Estate wines. It is my pleasure to write about the wines of L’Angolo Estate which is a stalwart producer located in the Dundee Hills. L’Angolo Estate was founded by proprietors Holdings and Lou Renton, who purchased a 20 acre property in the Dundee Hills several years back. The estate vineyard is planted to 6 acres of Pinot Noir and 4 acres of Chardonnay, which were planted in two successive years. Vines are set in a combination of Jory and Nekia soils, as the site has four clones of Pinot Noir and two clones of Chardonnay across 13 clone-specific vineyard blocks. The last two releases of wines from this site have appeared as nicely concentrated and loaded with red and black fruit flavors, with great flinty and stony undertones. Winemaker Chase Renton has a background in wine sales and also studied at Apicius Wine Studies in 2011. He has led L’Angelo since 2012 and has formerly worked harvests in California and Burgundy befo
