OK I finally broke down and went to WineStreets...

Mike has been preaching the WineStreets gospel for so long now that when Dogfish Head's Midas Touch was available (for the first time in the Midwest?), I made the 20 mile trek from St. Paul to Bloomington. And though I have not tried Midas Touch yet ($9.99 for a wine bottle-about 7 bottles left), the trip was very worth it. In fact, they might have a larger Belgian selection than Blue Max. They also had a number of Poland and Czech Republic beers. I asked about meads, and Tom didn't carry any just yet, but he hopes to have some on the shelves in the next couple weeks. He says he is working with a Polish distributor and might have as many as 12 different kinds, but hopefully 6 or so. (Mike, will you let us know when these get in?) So I have to admit, it was worth the effort. I ended up with a whole bunch of stuff I hadn't planned on buying, and you will too. Don P.S. Is Gary Sinnin (?) out there, the mead master? Or does anyone have his email address? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
