Rex Goliath 47lb er Pinot- Finally!

I've seen this brand on many a posts and just had to find some (not available in Canada you say?)

Was in the Niagara area this past weekend and thanks to Mark for sending me the link to a Premier Wine Outlet, I crossed over on Tues. a.m. and snapped up 4 bottles at $6.99 and a treat (1 Aussie - Pirramimma Shiraz).

Bad news was I knew that not being in the country for 24 hours that I was not legally entitled to bring anything back. But being the naive and honest tourist, I declared all five(had three from Niagara wineries in trunk already) and the back seat full of groceries (low cal/carb. stuff for my wife)

OUCH!!!! Paid the duty and am now going to sip the Big Rooster veryyyyy slowly instead of quaffing it.

Hey Larry, So what do you think? Was it worth the ride, duty, etc.? Hope you like it.

With duty, it came to about $14 US - yup that's right!

Worth it. Jury is still out. Think I'll go outside this evening and try a few more glasses.

Hey Larry, Whoa - $14 US. I think the folks in this NG would agree that it's good ... but $14? I don't wish to get in trouble with the feds, FBI, CIA, Homeland security, RCMP or anyone else, but have you ever considered smuggling? :-) Just kidding, of course ... kind of.

Cheers, Dick
