Good suggestions. The 3T system was intended to be exclusionary to discourage intemperance and the control of bars and saloons by the distillers. The positive experience of the wineries (in this states that permit winery DTT) show that times have changed and the exclusionary regulations are no longer necessary to achieve the goal of responsible alcohol marketing and sale.
Everything has changed and your point is very well taken. At this point, restricting self distribution is merely a matter of inertia, regulatory convenience, and the outsized influence of the wholesale tier.
