      <content>OK, I live in California, so I cannot speak about specific retailers within Michigan.  But K&amp;L Wine Merchants www.klwines.com is but one California retailer that carries it and ships (where permitted by law).  Beverages, and more! www.bevmo.com is another.

Both also carry Amer Picon.</content>

      <content>I tried both searches came up empty for Amer Picon.  Bev Mo has Torani Amer.  Close, but not the same.</content>

      <content>I don't know about MI laws regarding shipment of alcholic beverages, but Pineau de Charentes can be ordered for under $25 from dozens of online wine dealers. Try searching using Google Products.

I have found Amer Picon difficult to locate at times. I found a bottle recently at Martignetti's Liquors on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton, MA. You might call them to see if they ship. Good luck!</content>

      <content>Pineau is no problem if you're near a BevMo,  now if I could only find a source for Noilly Pratt Ambre.</content>

      <content>I didn't know there was a Noilly Prat Amber. Is it sweeter than the sec, the way bianco Italian vermouths are sweeter than their extra dry brethren?

I found this on Wikipedia: "Amber Noilly Prat is only available for purchase from Noilly Prat in its shop in Marseillan."</content>

      <content>It's a very complex herbal aged concoction,  great sipping.  We had a bottle when we stayed in the area 2 years ago,  I wish we'd brought back a case. </content>
