Best new find to stumble upon this weekend: Rewind, a new-ish vintage store in Northeast Minneapolis that keeps pretty terrible hours. (I mean, it’s difficult to get there if you’re working folk–basically Wednesday through Friday until 7 p.m., Saturday till 6). In any case, this store is the new project of Sarah Hoese, who used to sell her 70s garb at Theater Antiques. I bought a HUUUUUGE, navy blue hobo bag and a pair of never-worn brown-n-orange knee-highs. (They still had the $1.99 sticker tag on ’em–presumably from, oh, 1976. But in 2006 they go for $6–still a relative bargain!)
The other thing I found (while randomly driving about the Wisconsin countryside): Trade River Winery, which isn’t so much a winery as it is a wholesaler/importer of boutique wines. (It’s a family upstart that was dreamed up while mother, father, and son were vacationing in Portugal. So goes the story, they were “drunk and howling at the moon.”) I tried the Elaine Maria Sauvignon Blanc–yum!
