PINOT finally sells vino!

Old City oenophile's haven PINOT (227 Market St.), which has long had the frustrating distinction of dealing in everything wine-related save for actual wine, is finally able to stock the stuff. Dan Soskin's boutique has partnered with Paradocx to carry the ChesCo producer's "Wine in a Paint Can" line super-rad 3.5-liter containers that go for $34.99 as well as 14 other varieties, in bottles, from the vineyard. How does this work? PINOT does not have a liquor license like a bar or restaurant rather, the shop is taking advantage of Section 505.2(a)(3) of the Commonwealth's liquor code, which states that an in-state winemaker can select up to five (Board-approved) retail locations at which to stock their products.
