winery visits & loaded bike touring

[kat_h]

Now there is a challenge when doin' self-loaded bike touring in wine country:

limiting yourself to total number of wine bottles that you can haul on bike..

I have an idea for how you can buy more bottles without having to carry them all. Check beforehand to see if there are any UPS stores or Mail Boxes Etc near where you're touring. Visit the winery, buy a few bottles, then head to the UPS store and have them professionally pack the bottles and overnight them to my house.
