After reading the topic on Wine Business, it reminded me of a thought I had earlier today. Does anyone know what it takes to get a permit and license to operate a legal distilllery? I'm not aware of any makers of brandy in Texas. After reading the literature, it seems fairly easy to distill wine to make brandy.

Check the ATF's website, I think everything needs to go through them anyway?
Depending on where you live, you may need federal, state, county, and city licensing. Honestly, it's a mess. The winery where I work is trying to get a pot still, and you wouldn't believe the mountain of paperwork there is. I thought running a winery was rough...having a still is easily ten times worse!
