You know, I was thinking of you while at a new (to me) restaurant recently. At Dirty Oscar's Annex, the food was cool, but what caught my eye is that they are leaning heavily on purveying moonshine from Carolina. While enjoyable, I thought it inferior to PEI Shine. bibere usque ad hilaritatem

This needs to become a franchise! PEI didn't repeal prohibition until 1948 so there was lots of time for product development. My Grandad could have been a character on "Boardwalk Empire". Except it would be more like "Wharf Empire". Edit: Hey you just inspired an entry for me. Last edited by Murph; 10/05/12 11:53 AM. With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Eeeeeevil. I suppose it's a good thing, since I was unsure what thing for my basement I was going to buy next. I did want to try a VP180, to hopefully replace my M22, so I'm leaning towards that.
