Montana, Hey It Ain't So Bad!

I'm back from my adventures in Great Falls proper. Damn they have a lot of casinos here. Would you call a converted 7-11 a casino? It seems too small to be called that.

In driving around I was on the lookout for a grocery store, knowing the liquor laws in other states are sane and just. I stopped by an Albertsons and I found this:


This brand, Schmitt-Sohne, was one of the first I tried in my sampling of various types of wine. I fell in love with this wonderful little german wine and haven't been able to find it in any of the Utah liquor stores.

For this, Montana, I'll let you sit next to me at lunch and look cool.

Ah, a trip away from Utah is like a pilgrimage to a land of plentiful bounty where delicious alcoholic beverages flow from every fountain. Enjoy it while you can!

I had a bottle of a Riesling Spatlese aboard a cruise that was absolutely fabulous. It cost about $35 on the ship, IIRC.

I'm surprised you can't find that brand in your local stores. It's very common in Louisiana stores.

That brand isn't carried by the state liquor stores in Utah. You won't be able to find it anywhere except out of state. There's no plan to carry it, though you should be able to submit a request at your local liquor "store."

I checked. ;) ...enjoying some newfound access with my recent status as one of Utah's most outspoken advocates for liquor law change.
