    I'm a HUGE Eric Wareheim fan and my wife is a wine drinker. That said, Wareheim is part owner of Las Jaras wines in California but getting a bottle is frustrating as they don't sell/ship to Illinois. I know I could have someone in California send a bottle to me or have Las Jaras send the bottle to a state in which they sell where someone I know in that state can ship it to me. However, I don't want to pay double the shipping expenses for one-two bottle(s) of wine.

    Any suggestions?

    Do they have a physical tasting room? Where are they? The website was kinda sparse. If they are in Sonoma County, I could pick up and ship them to you provided there aren’t restrictions to individuals shipping wine.

    Good call! I looked up their spot on G-Maps - Just up the street from Red Lion Tavern.

    Ah, memories . . .

    Every site I'm visiting per @Steelton Keith 's recommendation of winesearcher.com (which is a GREAT site BTW), shows no shipping to Illinois.

    25+ years ago, I worked for a Calif. gent that was trying to get a wine shipping sub going along with his other warehousing & turnover cos.. Long, complicated story.

    This was the wine merchant. He lived in Chicago. In the past few years, he has transitioned to Italy, but I did see elsewhere he was still party to US company.

    Whether that is true as of this writing, I do not know, however, he would know who/what/how/where/when/why to make things happen.

    And his product may be to your liking, as well.

    His contact info is on link provided . . .

    For what it's worth, I used https://www.kogodwine.com/ and had the wine delivered to me without any issue. Had a flawless experience with them.
