So I guess I am the fuck that will bring boxed wine to sasquatch... I stand behind its portable, anti-spill, anti-breakable qualities. You're not buying it in Canada are you? Booze is like 1/4 the price in the states. Also, I don't see the problem with box wine at all. Pull out the bag when it's half done, shove it in your backpack near the bottom and the security guards never find it.

I just stop in and buy a few bottles of wine every time I'm there for Sasquatch. They have a tasting room, if you weren't aware. It's like $6 and they give you samples of 5-7 wines and you get to take home the glass, with the option of buying some bottles. That is awesome! How far away from the gorge is it?

Victoria ►liquor store in Port Angeles ►Walmart Port Angeles ►Trader Joe's Silverdale ►SASQUATCH! It looked like on the websites that I can't buy hard liquor at grocery stores, but if you know any different please let me know! Less stops = better

My old college dorm roomate once polished off a Mickey's 40 out of the bottle in 37 seconds and change. I'm still awestruck. Damn. That is impressive/horrible.

Very close, within walking distance. It's on Silica road on the left side, maybe a mile before the entrance to the campground. There's signs out on the road for it.

Less stops = better We passed an initiative this past November to allow liquor sales in grocery stores, but it isn't allowed until June 1st unfortunately. Just a week too late for Sasquatch

Okay. Well considering up here you have to go to a liquor store to get any sort of booze, you guys were already a step ahead of us. Stupid government governing what we can put in our bodies....

It looked like on the websites that I can't buy hard liquor at grocery stores, but if you know any different please let me know! Less stops = better We usually just get our liquor at the duty free. You can get 2 litres each and they dont mind (even though the limit is technically 1 litre), so that is usually good enough for us and then we get beer and wine at the grocery store. Coming from Victoria you might be taking the ferry, so I'm not sure how the duty free situation works with that.

Yeah I don't know how it works really either... I have only taken that ferry once and it was at 7 pm and we were about to drive for 28ish hours straight so we didn't really look to see what was going down. I do work with a lady that goes down all the time and I know she brings stuff back, but I don't know about the way down.

Wait... I didn't know you could buy duty free on the way into the states! There is actually an onboard duty free on the ferry... just looked it up... crazy.

I like doing the duty free as well. I think of it as akin to paying the bouncer to skip the line since it cuts the border wait down to about 15 minutes every time.

Yeah that's the way to do it, something like $15 for a litre of liquor, can't really go wrong. On the way down the don't really care if you go over your limit by a bottle so it saves you a stop along the way.

I am not going to lie. I was thinking about that in my head and giggling when I saw Duty Free. I kind of always do.

Somehow I am getting flashbacks to the Funky Planet.
If you guys go through the truck crossing on 176th I used to live above that gas station at 8th avenue. Was fun times, even though during the day there were truckers everywhere.

Box wine has come a long way. I will not turn down anyone's boxed wine.
