Lookit. Best wine I have ever tasted!

Volcano blend. Oregon wine. They have a shop in downtown Bend (126 NW Minnesota). They sell it by the glass for $5. FIVE BUCKS!. It is far better than Helix ($9/glass at 900 Wall) or Isenhower ($11/glass at 900 Wall).

1. Hmm. I'm sipping whiskey tonight, DemoTex, but suddenly a hankering for a glass of red...

...has struck.

Though I think will have to wait... ;-)

2. Good to hear from you, DT

And I'm happy to hear you're enjoying your well-deserved break--I hope Nick is, too.

But I'm afraid you may get moved to the lounge...just sayin'. If so, I'll join you there. :)

4. I know - but it is indeed "general discussion."

I avoid the lounge. If a post gets moved there, it it was it is.

:hi:

8. Hey, if the Lounge is good enough for CA Peg, it's good enough for me

I don't look down on it--it's just another DU forum, one that is often clever, witty and hilarious. And I suspect they know their beverages, if you know what I mean... :)

7. When I was there, the Widmere Hef was great

Craft beer afficionados may scoff, but the Hef, with a twist of lemon or lime, was terrific--especially when poured from a cold tap.

BTW, I hope you have access to good beer in B.C. Whenever I visited friends there, the rule was that I had to pick up some tobacco and a flat of beer at the duty-free shop when I crossed the border. :)

6. I didn't realize they produced shiraz out near bend!

Oregon boutique wineries make world class pinot on the west side of the Cascades, but didn't realize bend had anything other than outstanding ales.
