I know the park service is hurting for money, but will be interesting to see if this actually generates revenue.
I guess it’s like the lottery. The government outlaws an activity or service (privately-run lotteries, or alcohol in the national park), then uses the ban to make itself a monopolist in selling that service to raise money for itself.
Most of the National Parks out here sell alcoholic beverages in the stores and allow its consumption in the camp grounds. I remember Crater Lake having a self-branded Oregon Pinot that… wasn’t very good.
From the article:
So, now the really important question: is it any good or is it swill? Alas, we didn’t get the chance to taste the park wines ourselves, though the Web site touts them as being “fruit forward and food friendly, the premier release artisan blends are composed of complementary varietals that build to a complex but accessible crescendo on the palate.”
Just what I need–another palate crescendo…

I bet it would pair nicely with a block of government cheese
