This might be an odd question but at these kinds of events are there like small swap meets that happen, this being my first one. I ask because I get the opportunity to travel a lot and I bring back wines from all over the world. I was just curious to see if there are some folks that would like to do this sort thing?

Let me know I currently have a bottle from Sicily(red) and a bottle from Chile (red spicy)

I thought I had more but my wife likes to enjoy them sometimes :)

Swapping has happened before! You're welcome to initiate it!

I'll have a friend down doing MaryKay facials Saturday at 11:30. There will be munchies and such, so come visit, snack and get refreshed!

And I know I'm late to the party... but... mmmmm beeeeerrrrr :beer:

WINE??? :wine:
After a hard day......I picked up a couple of bottles of Red (from Chille) and a couple fine cheeses.
Sat on the couch and did end up in bed early.
But, I am up now! And this thread has re-stimulated my brain.
Just another great reason to make the 804 mile drive to Shasta! :wine: :wine: :wine:
See you there! :wine: :wine:
Brian
PS
Looking forward to my Mary Kay Facial too! :roll:

OH so now they are Canadian Margaritas? though they was Montana Margaritas?? Must be a different variation - ??new version?? so in July at the Farm, does this mean there is going to be a runoff contest between the Canadian and the Montana Margaritas? (first it was the 'Brain and Dean Bean War')

Okay Ted
Your memory is too good!
But, just a warning!
One should never enter into any kind of "Drinking Contest" involving a Canadian???? ;)

this would NOT be a drinking contest - It would/could be like the old Pepsi/Coke taste testing contests. Have the side by side taste test of the two. Just an idea!! Kind of like the 'apricot' cobbler cook off but with margarita's - Hey, that could be be a nice combination 'apricot cobbler with a margarita' ? May have to try that........

Margarita contest? Can I be a judge? Doesn't that mean I'll have to taste each of them? :twisted:

On the Chili note - Just doin potlucks. If you want to bring a vat of chili, more power to you! Might I also suggest bringing paper bowls too though...

Brian - I'm looking forward to your facial, too! You'll be BEAUTIMOUS!!!

Hi Ted
Here it is!
Since our first "Montana Margarita" just 8 short months ago, and the purchase of the "Binford Smoothie 600 Pro" in September. :thinking: We have been working on perfecting the " Canadian Camping Margarita". :roll:
After "much" research.......and with only one week before we head south to the "Shasta Lake Gathering".
We put in one final night (until Sunday?) of R&D! :twisted: And tonight, after 2 bottles of Tequila (different brands) and a couple of non bias researchers (complete with their own recipes) we have come up with the "Final Version"...........Perfect Recipe for the "Canadian Margarita", we have found the "4th" and "so very secret" ingredient, that sets ours apart from the crowd.
We will debut this "New Recipe" at the Shasta Lake Gathering! ;)
As mentioned bfore.........as Canadians, we are not familiar with the laws in Ca. .......that might limit the distribution of our "Canadian Margarita" :thinking:
But, much like the "Mobile Taco Trucks" we have seen over the past 10 years.........we are confident that we can circumvent the "local liqueur laws" that will allow you to try this "unique taste experience" by you bringing your own "Tequila"???? :thinking:
We will be in site # 11 ;)
This year's Shasta Lake Gathering promises to be a lot of FUN! :thumbsup:
"Life is only as good as you make it!"
Good Roads
Brian & Sandi

PS
We would like to Thank our TD friends for the " Binford Smoothie Pro 600" .....that we have faithfully kept lubricated & exercised, since it's acquisition!
It has already served in WA., OR., & ID. And will be on it's way to CA. in 7 days! :wine:

the "Binford Pro 600" may need it's own North American map eventually to show off it's travels for the future drinker's participating in it's tasty productions - you know it's own BADGE OF HONOR!! just an idea,
