I toured New Belgium Brewery last weekend (creator of Fat Tire) for free and we could choose 4 free samples. I’ve also done the Coors tour as well.

Great idea! There are plenty of good, small wineries in the Great Lakes region as well. My fiancee and I spent some time this summer visiting a number of wineries in Michigan. Tastings were completely free, although we did walk out with a few bottles of reasonably priced wines at the end of the day.

That is one downside of going to a winery, actually liking the wine!

Great series idea and great fun! The Wall Street Journal’s Friday editon has wine tastings section and I found one of my favorite Cab’s under $10 there!
