Hey Jim, I remember seeing these on shelves. They might have been gathering dust on a shelf with These Guys at that little joint in Greektown with the good spanakopita. In my opinion they are a very "touristy" type item, not my glass of Retsina at all. If you like it, and could get for a song, I'm sure the Goodwill guys would be pleased.
