No wine in grocery stores? 0_0 Bizarre!
Liquor and beer are controlled by the Commonwealth here in PA. We've still got a bunch of "dry" counties as well.
Sigh.
All I can get at the 7-11 here is a slurpee. :p
Hey Blue, I've had a wine called "Pink Truck" before, it wasn't too bad. I like to try wines that have interesting names. Have a had few that were nasty, but for the most part, not too bad! I did have one called "Fire Hydrant Red" before, and that was just really nasty!! It was like vinegar, lol.
Since we are all petlovers, I'll share this one with you...

I used to live in Ithaca, NY and this was one of my favorites to give as a house gift.
That's correct! And no state tax on anything either. How bizarre is that??:)Quote:

My personal, real life favorite!Quote:

You cant buy wine in grocery stores here either.
I'd re-label it Chateau Parc du Traileur, just to be snobby:eek: Peanut Noir made me laugh right out loud!
I looked at this thread because the Wal-Mart nearest to me just started selling beer a couple of months ago. They don't offer wine, though. I think the corporation is trying to convert this one to a "Super" where they carry a full line of groceries. The food items they do sell (snack foods, boxed, canned and frozen) are usually cheaper than the supermarket, bottled water usually is and a gallon of milk always is.
We can't buy any alcohol ecept in licensed stores. When I lived in Oregon for a short time, it always seemed weird that you could get it in the grocery store.
I am a strong supporter of BC wines, and my FAVOURITE winery of all time is See Ya' Later Ranch http://www.sylranch.com
I love what it stands for. When I went there in the summer I bought 3 whites and they were all fantastic. Their 2007 Reisling is the best I've had, and I normally prefer dry whites.
Burrowing Owl is the best for Merlot. http://www.bovwine.ca They are trying to preserve land for the burrowing owls in the area, which I also greatly admire.
