Wine shipment has been allowed in Minnesota since 2005.
Don’t know about spirits, though.
Well, on this liquor store’s website Minnesota is not excluded from spirit deliveries. BevMo won’t ship hard alcohol anywhere except California and Arizona, according to their website. The Chicago-based Binny’s website has no problems that I can see from shipping to Minnesota. If I put a bourbon in my cart and type in a Utah zip code, it gives me an error saying they’re not allowed to ship there. If I put in a Minneapolis zip code, no problem.
Your welcome.
ETA: Where the heck did the rest of my post go? Anyhow, I also had a link to this online liquor store, which does not have Minnesota excluded from spirit, wine, or champagne shipping. Also, the problem with BevMo is they will only ship spirits to California or Arizona. It’s just their own policy.
Oh hell yes.
I have got to hit Liquorama this weekend. Been too long since I’ve had the Pappy.
Yes, he certainly is, Cowgirl Jules, and I hope y’all enjoy it every bit as much as some of the rest of us have and will.
I tried a couple of those online links but couldn’t find any Pappy or Black Maple available, bourbon or rye. Will keep at the the conventional route.
Lieu, I have to admit that I didn’t like it as much as I’d hoped I would. It has a sharp, spicy flavor that I just can’t identify. I’m back to the Maker’s 46 tonight, although I’ll give the Stranahan’s another go one of these days.
Tipping the balance to Makers Mark for the moment, mostly because it’s been a long time since I’ve had Knob Creek. Currently more than buzzed on Evan Williams SourMash. What can I say, I work for a non-profit. 
If anyone would like to change my mind with a tasting, PM me. 
So sorry it didn’t work for you, Jules. If you want, I’ll pay for whatever you spent plus shipping and you can send it my way. Just PM me.
Oh, no lieu, but thank you! I’ll keep it around; maybe a guest will like it more than I do. And it’s not horrible, it’s just not quite to my taste. I do love trying new things like this.
While I first didn’t have any success finding the Pappy or Black Maple Hill online, I was thrilled to get a call from the friend’s store yesterday, he had both the 15 and 23 y.o. Pappy if I wanted them. That would be a “Yes” to both. I wasn’t sure how long I ought to wait to try the 15; a week, a month. I settled on 8:30. Very nice, I can definately understand the admiration. Smooth, strong, leaves a pleasant warm glow, that ‘traditional’ bourbon flavor perfectly presented. Now I just need the perfect guest to stop by so I’ve reason to crack open the 23.
Good as it is though I’m still partial to Stranahan’s basic flavor as opposed to that ‘traditional’ bourbon flavor. I’ll have to study up on what differentiates them so I can describe it better next time. And the hunt remains on for the Black Maple Hills.
I’d be interested to hear your take on what that Stranahan’s flavor is, lieu. I couldn’t pin it down, although it’s very different from the traditional bourbon taste.
