I know that Surfas and Bay Cities do not. I am thinking of Contrex, Vichy Célestines, and Badoit in particular. I am certainly open to anything new. Thank you very much.

Although it's been a little while since I last ate there, Jason carried an excellent selection of French mineral waters (I believe including Badoit) along with other unique foodie goods.

Mon Jul 09 22:12:46 -0700 2007 2698169 100515 Woolsey 1 2728543 Market Gourmet in Venice carries Badoit, usually in glass & plastic, Contrex & Vichy. Unfortunately, they aren't always in stock. You can order cases from them though. Sat Jul 07 22:07:19 -0700 2007 2697313 98240 obre 1 2728566 I used to buy Badoit at Surfas and Wally's. Surfas said they stopped carrying it, but I seem to recall they still have the smaller bottles sometimes. I rarely see it for sale, although Cafe Midi on La Brea has it on the menu. I would give Wally's wine shop a call. Wally's 310.475.0606 2107 Westwood Boulevard Los Angeles California 90025 Sat Jul 07 22:23:39 -0700 2007 2697313 10238 Marco Polo
