Thanks for the responses – I had a feeling it was the option of the restaurant b/c they have to purchase special bags and the law outlines very specific req’s for sealing and bagging the wine. Now I am glad I did not...

the 'tos family of products. Tostitos, Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos. I have such a serious weakness for those things that I don’t buythem, b/c I knwo I will house the entire bag in a night. Family size will take a few nights....

I’m sending my suitcase Portland to DC ahead of me. Of course I want to enclose some Oregon wines, will bubble-wrap and place them in plastic bags, then wrapped in clothing etc. UPS told me they won’t ship it, but...

for an evening session ($35 I think). I believe they serve 8 wines with 8 cheeses...sometimes there is enough cheese left over for doggy-bags.

styrofoam shipping container inside wheeled luggage, I’ve never had breakage problems. When I know I’m flying to wine country, I go out with one empty bag. As long as you keep it under 50 pounds, there are no excess...

want to try (as opposed to by-the-glass), the law in Boston/Cambridge now allows for you to take home any wine leftover from a full bottle. They’ll simply cork the bottle, put it in a specially sealed bag with an official...

I think that there is a new law in ME that allows the restaurant to securely re-cork and bag your partially consumed bottle of wine for you to take home. Restaurants in ME have volunteered this to me recently.

i’m afraid that comment is cheap and tacky. some folks know which wines ‘work’ just as well as FL, and have properly aged (20-30 years) bottles in their little brown bags. a more useful comment would be that if...

as mentioned above. IMO the terms “no sulfites added” or “sans soufre” are misleading. they simply mean that no sulphur is used. even if there is no sulphur used the wine will still contain sulfites. (EU...

to finish a steak half the size. Doggie bags were had by all for an after dinner -after calc study session late night snack. It was really fun and we would certainly do it again. Thanks again.
