Re: Wine in Utah, way off topic
We ran across a really good little wine shop there, with some California
labels which we had not tried. I asked the owner for a recommendation, and
he pointed out that the wines were arranged by price, up to $10 in this
rack, 10-20 in this one, 20-30 here and so forth, but that he was prohibited
by Utah law from giving any information other than price. But, they did
get great light.
