Without going into all the drama of life right now, I've really been craving something that I maybe shouldn't be. Sokol Blosser does an amazing dessert wine: 2006 White Riesling. I love it. They call it liquid gold and the title is well deserved. I have wanted it so badly the last couple of days I have been tempted to drive to Boise on the chance they have it (Boise being the closest city with a retail location that sells Sokol Blosser), but I haven't. First off, it sounds a little alcoholic to go to Idaho for bottle of wine. Secondly, a trip like that makes a 40 dollar bottle of wine more like 80, and that is a lot of money for wine (for me anyway). So I have scavenged the local liquor stores for something that might be close. There really isn't anything close, but I found a dessert wine I am trying. It's okay. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though.
Speaking of the liquor store. They really piss me off. A six pack of a malted drink, a "beer cooler" (as in Seagram's, Bartel's and James, Bacardi silver, etc.) was 6.99 on sale 8.99 regularly in the grocery store. Now that you can only get them at the liquor store they are 12 frigging dollars a six pack. I want to travel to another state to get them on principal alone. I realize the travel time makes them just as expensive, but my hell, that pisses me off!!!

Can you get the wine online and have it shipped? would that be "cheaper"?
Also - that would piss me off to. I mean I don't drink, but that new law and everything is STUPID. I don't understand why Utah thinks they need to control everything (I'm annoyed with the new cell phone law they want to pass too).
Retards.
And don't worry - it doesn't sound THAT alcoholic. ;)
Poor Darlin.
Nope, it can't be bought online and shipped due to the law. It has something to do with the way alcohol is taxed in Utah, and labeled I think.
And just a little side as I was sweetly reminded, it is a third degree felony for me to bring alcohol across state lines.
Oh no, what cell phone law do they want to pass?
