Pennsylvania Libations Wine, a new wine shop in Pittsburgh's Strip District, at 1700 Penn Ave., is selling what it purports to be the state's largest selection of locally made wines and ciders. They had a soft opening early this month. According to the new shop's Facebook list, the shop sells a variety of wines from Presque Isle Wine Cellars, 6 Mile Cellars and Mazza Wines, all local-to-us Lake Erie Wine Country establishments.
Folks who were sad to miss North East's annual wine fest can relive it, sort of, on the season-long Erie Libations Tour. Here's how it works, according to the event's website, https://www.erielibations.com/. With a tour ticket, tourists receive a special promotion at each establishment and different discounts depending on laws governing each place. Participants have until Dec. 21 to visit all or as many of the vendors as they like. If they visit all of them and return the ticket to IronStone Meadery or email the completed ticket to erielibations@gmail.com, they are entered into a drawing for a basket with two bottles from each business. Second- and third-place will get cash prizes. Check out the venues at the Facebook page. Tickets are $15 for a single and $25 for a couple.
Lucky Louie's, 8238 Perry Highway, is offering s’mores you can cook yourself over a fire on its patio. You pay $5 for enough supplies for two sandwiches with either a traditional Hershey’s bar or a pair of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Then Louie's throws in some other candy for you to snack on or add to your s’mores. A staffer added bacon one day and said on Facebook it was "killer." An extra $1 gets you two strips of bacon. Lucky Louie's also has clear tents with heaters in them for sitting outside the whole time you're there. Which way do I steer?
P.S. I'm trying to round up places to order Thanksgiving meals to go for an upcoming column. (Yes, I know. It's coming already.) If you know of a place or own such a place, I'd be much obliged if you share details with me via email or phone.
