OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington lawmakers have approved a pilot program that will allow beer and wine tasting in 30 grocery stores statewide in an effort to market local products.The measure now heads to the governor, after passing the Senate 29-17 on Monday. It earlier passed the House.The one-year program, strongly supported by the state's microbrewery and wine industries, allows shoppers to sample as much as 4 ounces of beer or wine. Supporters say it allows small wineries or breweries with no marketing budget to get their products out to the public.

I can see all sorts of jokes coming out of this one..."Honey, I've got to run to the grocery store.... be back in 6 hours!"

This is another example of political action committees working behind the scenes to get laws passed for special interests.

In this case, wives who want husbands to do all the grocery shopping...pretty sneaky if you ask me
