With gas back down in the $1.75 range, it might be. Not so much for most of
their food, but 2$CHK is still a steal. I hafta go 500 miles round trip.
That may not be worth it, but 200? No doubt about it. I'd buy at least 10
cases ($360) and be set with wine for some time. Wine around here is
expensive or lousy or both. Definitely worth a trip. I'd also pick up some
NM mesquite or oak. CO is sadly lacking in any form of hardwood.
