 So I am looking for a new beer (dark) and/or wine (white) to lust after. I like trying new things and even though good, ole' Port Angeles is at the end of the earth, if I request something in to the local Albertsons, sometimes they will bring it in. Whatcha got?

And you're asking us girls because we have taste? ;)

I'm pretty sure I need a life. :\

Hmm...do you have to get it by the case there? And what price range are we talking about? There's a big difference between, say Dogfish Head Theobroma or Worldwide Stout and Duck-Rabbit Porter.
I'll let the west coast people continue w/this, since I doubt most of our Eastern craft breweries distribute out there.

That makes two of us.
I don't drink much beer, though when I do I like a microbrew of some sort (but usually end up with the near-beer my FiL hauls on our spring break desert trips ). Wine, I get whatever Trader Joe has for less than $6 a bottle.
Yeah, actually, if you are looking for taste in this area, I'm the wrong person. Though I'm very good and avoiding chest-thumps and never crush my beer (or soda) can on my forehead

I love Cupcake wine. The white, the red, even the red velvet
For beer, nothing beats a left handed milk stout.

I'm a big fan of a Bloody Maria - like a Bloody Mary but with tequila instead of vodka. Except that I've discovered a VAST difference in Bloody Mary mixes: I am a Zing Zang girl, which is a thick, spicy mix. Mmm mmmmmmm!

QUOTE I am planning a trip this summer to stroll that way and I am not beyond making 200-300 mile detours to visit breweries or vineyards. Case cost (12 glass bottles) would have to be around $20. What is this Worldwide Stout and Duck-Rabbit Porter of which you speak?
Right...so Dogfish Head, Russian River, Ommegang, etc are just plain out.
In that price range around here, I like most porters/stouts/brown ales by Bells (MI), Troegs (PA), Appalachian Brewing Company (PA), Lancaster Brewing Company (PA), Stoudts (PA), Southern Tier (NY), Great Adirondack (NY), Harpoon (NY), Long Trail (VT? great porters!), Otter Creek (VT, very dark, very good), and Duck-Rabbit (NC). The sampler cases from all of the above are usually nice mixes of dark/IPA/wheat if you don't mind hoppy floral stuff now and again.
If you're coming to the MidAtlantic, I'll recommend visits to Troegs, Dogfish Head, Great Adirondack Brewing Co, Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery, and most especially the Weeping Radish. But only if I can come too.
Yuengling in Pottsville, PA gives out free beer on factory tours.

Oh! You gals got the "in"! I now have some direction and plan to do some requesting at the local store, though I KNOW we have Cupcake wine here, just haven't tried it. Now I will.
I do plan on a road trip, peep. Not sure how far I will get but we plan on going East. Done the Oregon coast to San Fran and not enough time to go North to Alaska, so that left East. I-90 so far. It's in the summer when BerryPicker can go, so we will be dodging deserts and trying to hide in the trees as we go.
I would love to meet up with some of you lovely ladies along the way if possible. We may not have time for more than a beer or coffee, but shoot me a PM if you are interested in a Pacific Ocean rock and I will do my best to deliver it personally. Right now, we are going East thru Missoula and then down 15 to 20 and across Yellowstone straight to Cody. I have family out thatta way. So far, that's all I got. I know I want to take the kiddo to Niagra Falls and hoping we have time to hit some other sites. Cajun, we want to come see ya, but I will be keeping one eye on the weather and one on my watch. It might be a mad dash!

You are always welcome here!! And I hear there's talk about sending us back to Seattle again ... like serious talk, if the budget allows for it. *fingers crossed*

The guest room is available if you come this way. I would love to see you two and of course Berrypicker again!

Sounds like a great trip I loves me a good road trip.
I-90/I-94 will bring you within spitting distance of my house, to be sure, if you are traveling to Niagra through Wisconsin that way. You might like a trip down through New Glarus to visit their brewery, or to Wollersheim to visit the winery. If so and you can spare a day we have an outstanding state park about an hour from here and close to 90/94 with good climbing and a deep glacial lake remnant. The prairie is outstanding in July  but good almost any time during the summer. We have a place you could stay if I can talk the DH into it, LOL
Keep me posted!
