         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.

P.S. Is Gary Sinnin (?) out there, the mead master? Or does anyone have
his email address?
