Kind of off thread. But did you see the news about wine? They say that within the next 5 years, we will overtake France on the most wines available from any country.
I always wanted to go up into wine country and take a tour or two. Never got the chance. Closest I came to it was a big festival they had in San Diego. They'd chain link off Old Town and invite all the micro breweries in to set up booths and give samples of beer. Some years they had over 300 different beers to sample. Cost $25 to get through the gate, beer was free. Food cost you though. 100% of the money went to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation.
