OK, It sounds great. I'll go shopping. What's the street address? They are not
in my white or yellow pages.

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?

New subject: OK I finally broke down and went to WineStreets...
Sorry, it's not really on a street. Winestreets is located at the
intersection of France Ave and Old Shakopee Rd in Bloomington in what's
called Valley West shopping center, just west (next door) of Cub Foods .
Take France south from 494, turn into Cub, take out a few shoppers and
you'll be there.
If Tom Keim, the manager is there, say hello. He has 25 years in the
business and is especially knowledgeable about wines.
Keep in mind, there are other stores out there with very good selections so
check them all out and give everyone a quick report.
Thanks

You can find Midas Touch at Surdyks and The Cellars too.
Speaking of Dogfish Head, if you like IPAs their 90 Minute IPA (I think that's
what it's called) also in a 750 mL bottle, is very nice.
I've not been impressed by their other beers.
