MEMORANDUM
TO: TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: TOWN ATTORNEY
RE: CORKING AND TASTING
DATE: JULY 1, 2004
At you last meeting I received your direction to implement the state statute
permitting alcoholic beverage tastings and to amend the Town's open container law to permit
persons to remove from licensed establishments corked bottles of wine.
The alcoholic beverage tastings ordinance simply allows tastings and adopts the
restrictions of state statute. As you recall, those state restrictions are extensive. I see no reason to
place additional restrictions as to time, number of days and number of tastings and understand that
you agree. You will note that the ordinance, like the legislation, includes tastings in drug stores.
There is no present need of that in Avon, but anyone considering having such a facility would want
to know the Town's position. Also, technically, it may not be possible to implement the statute
only in part.
The amendment to the open container law, I think, is self-explanatory.
