[FMC] Wine Sales at Farmers' Market

[Mark TCM]

Wine sales are allowed in California, we have it at the Vista Farmers  
Market in San Diego county.
The state Alcohol Beverage Control regulates it.  In California we  
have a fairly unique situation as each farmers market is certified by  
the county to be a place where farmers sell what they grow (so the  
definition is clear and easy).  No sampling is allowed.
Farmers markets need to get way beyond fruits and vegetables, plants,  
herbs, and flowers.

Hoping some of you can point me in the direction of states that allow  
local wineries to sell at farmers' markets. So far I am aware of  
California, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York and  
possibly New Hampshire and Virginia. I am also looking for copies of  
the legislation or regulations that allow for this and what is  
considered a "farmers market" as it applies to allowing wine sales.  
Thanks!
