On second thought, I kind of agree.  booze isn't really a regional
thing, and even the ba.wineries aren't discussed much here, either.
A rare, polite cross-post to be.general and ba.food doesn't attract
much attention.  I hear ba.wineries spoekn of more in other regional
food
groups.

OTOH, I would like to find the 12-year old 100 proof Canadian Club
that has only been spotted at the duty-free shops in LA and SF 
airports.  I'd also like to find Rock and Rye. It has large peices of
fruit in the bottle (how do they get that in there, anyway?  Dehydrated,
perhaps?).  It's a drink I remember from my childhood.

And the _best_ Belgian Ale selection in the ba.* is at 41st Ave Liquors
in Capoitola.  Over 25 kinds, at last count, and they have the newer
Delirium Noctorum there, too (from Huyghe - The infamous Pink Elephant).
Unibrou has just released a trippel, something like "Deuce de Deu" here
in the states, but it's not quite as good as La Fin du Monde (you may
find that at Whole Foods).

Now that I've got that out of my system (at 1oz per hour), I probably
would not subscribe to ba.booze.  It would ruin my reputation if I were 
seen posting there too often <cough>.
