        <content>Having spent much of my life a broad in Europe, I have recently become interested in making my favorite after-dinner drink &#8211; &#8220;Mirto&#8221; from the myrtle berry.  I know the berry is grown in Sardinia (IT) and Corsica (FR) where they use it to make this drink and in their cuisine.  I know live in Pittsburgh, PA.  Does anyone know where I can find myrtle berries for this in the US?  Is it even available?  Is anyone selling it?</content>

      <content>Howdy!
I have not seen myrtle berries here in the US yet, but I have seen good Mirto.  Argiolas has a Mirto in the NY market, it goes for about $30 - One of my favorite digestivos.</content>
