Have you checked your local Whole Foods Market? There's a number of Whole Foods that are listed in the key retailers Maybe you'll luck out, or convince the store manager the store should start carrying it...

That second bottle of wine might preclude finding the door on the wrong side. Some campers may end up sleeping on the ground!

I just unwrapped a bottle of the Happy Camper Merlot yesterday and will keep it corked until the first camping trip of '11.

For convenience, I prefer a nicely corrugated cabernet from Franzia.

Never drink a wine before its time.
Guess we need to learn all the time zones.

I tried several local Whole Foods. Their wine managers all never heard of it. They can't order less than a case, and they want to know ahead of time that they'll be able to sell the whole case.

Bummer Frederick. I don't even drink wine and there's a distributor about 3 blocks from where I work. Doesn't seem fair somehow.

They sell this in my local Fred Myers store. I've had a few bottles and it's ok - not great. In my book this is 'musician grade' wine; suitable for serving to my band after rehearsal and definitely good for camping.

We have a custom made 'violin case'. Custom made that inside it there is a nicely displayed pair of plastique wine glasses plus two bottles of 'Vintage' wines, one red and one white. One is Old Fart Wine and the other is Happy Camper Wine. Great eye candy!!!

a campers whine? How about:

"I wish it were cooler!"

"I wish it were warmer!"

"I wish it wasn't raining!"

Where do they sell it in Los Angeles? You buy, I'll fly, on the condition that the wife and I get a tour of your trailer. We come down to San Diego about once a month to visit family, so I'm sure something could be arranged. (BTW I was driving the little Blue and Tan Miata that gave you the big thumbs up on the 5 around Thanksgiving time.)

When I spoke on the phone with the wholesale distributor, she said that they sell it to mostly restaurants in the LA area.

I'm always happy to show off the Fiber Stream, with or without wine.
