Some wineries will offer to broker a shipment for you. That is, they sell it to you "at the winery" and take your shipment and ship it in your name to your state (if it's not a reciprocal state with CA). If the winery itself ships to you, (or friend) in an illegal state, they can be charged with a felony. Of course, shipping wine to yourself is also a felony in some states, but the winery doesn't care, since they're off the hook.
Stupid laws, yes.
