I think he said you could legally take 4 bottles across, but with no checkpoints he didn't care. Wonder what the penalty would be to get snagged with his haul, I think he carried 100 or so of those 1.75 liter bottles.

I have always found it interesting that California does have a checkpoint coming into the state (at least they do on southbound I-5), but not leaving. My mom, a California native, used to say that California likes to keep the fruits and nuts out. I will say no more....
