Liquor stores that ship to Georgia?

Having difficulty finding an online liquor store that will ship to Georgia. My Google-fu has failed me.
A few years ago, I ordered my wife some Porto Kopke Colheita, which is not sold in Georgia. Unfortunately, the store I ordered from no longer ships to Georgia. The way I understand it, stores outside Georgia can ship to Georgia if they have some sort of license to do so. Apparently the store's license lapsed or something to that effect.
All wines and spirits in Georgia must be approved and ordered through the state liquor board, so some smaller or rarer items just aren't sold here, and cannot be ordered from local stores unless the item is in the state-approved book.
I did some Google searching this afternoon, but it's very difficult to easily find online liquor stores that will ship to Georgia. I looked through several online retailers' shipping policies and even emailed a couple. No luck so far.
Help me, Hive Mind!

Response by poster: Yes, but I was trying to look for a legal solution to my dilemma first.

Best answer: Here are a list of stores in Georgia that appear to carry Porto Kopke.... Not sure what vintage you were looking for. Good luck!

Response by poster: I suppose I should clarify that a few years ago when we moved here from Seattle, Kopke was not in the official state liquor board book of wines that could be ordered. I know this because I stood by while the manager of a wine shop looked it up for me. Anyway, apparently this has changed. Thanks again for the link.
