I know what you mean. Living in Tennessee, I have hard time on stocking up on my favorite wines. I'm a big fan of Joel Gott's Zinfandel, but I couldn't get it shipped to Tennessee. When I made a trip to New York, I just bought a case, and lugged it home. A pain to do, but worth it.

I'm going to try to make a trip out to Napa or Sonoma this spring. Any suggestions on how I can carry two cases of wine on the plane, without breaking my back?
