    need some clarification

    I want to go to my local kroger and they do occasionally do wine tasting, Can I carry here since the alcohol is not sold and consumed on premises or is the fact they are serving a no no for OC. I am pretty sure that I can buy alcohol while oc but this is a gray area it seems.
