Smuggled wines, that's all you need to know. People who are coming into UT for the Film Festival, perhaps you could smuggle wine into the state to let us locals get a taste of some vino not on the "in list" of the the UT Dept of Alcohol Beverage Control. Not on the list, not legal to have in the State of the Honeybee's. I'm not messing around, this is some serious Thoreau style Civil Disobediance. They can't tell us what to drink. (don't take me too seriously). Anyway, any one intrested?

pyang, couldn't be better. Done with school, doing the work thing, so far so good. Hope business is good in Napa. I'm trying to drum up some interest in an SLC offline, we'll see how it goes. Perhaps my radical vigilante approach is too over the top? I'm just lookin' to drink some good vino.

Roentgen Ray, what's up man? Utah now??? Confused

You didn't just fall for a cute mormon chick and move out there I hope. You gotta move outta there - even for just wine reasons Wink

Hunter, I hear ya man. But there are pluses and minuses to living in Utah.

Pro 1: Not as many wino types to compete with, good wine shows up in the wine store, and doesn't sell out in seconds.

Con 1: Illegal to ship or bring wine into the state.


Pro 2: Mormon girls are Nordic descent, i.e. tall, hot and blonde. Better yet, they won't drink all my vino due to threats of eternal damnation.

Con2: Mormon girls are mormon, I'm liberal Quaker, at best. Not a match made in Heaven.


Pro 3: Great skiing, rock climbing, nature watching, and mountain biking within 30 minutes of my front door.

Con 3: 105 degrees for at least 5+ days usually mid July.

All in all, it's been pretty good so far, thanks for checking up on me.

Cheers, RR.

You forgot Pro 4: Polygamy Big Grin

I'm sure there is a con, but I can't think of any except having to spend more on Christmas presents and birthdays. Smile

You forgot Con 4: Polygamy... Big Grin

More than one wife??????

It's just not the same as more than one girlfriend.

Gigond Ass is a wise man.

Con 4: One woman alone can be unmanagable, can you image four wives, bound to you, telling you what you need to get done in order to make everything right in the universe and at home and with the four kids you had with each of those wives. Wow! Spare me that one. The closest you'ld ever come to wine again is if the concord grape juice in the fridge happened to sit long enough to muster a litter bubble action.

I thought you could have a few just for sex.

I guess it's not really worth it then.
