Q: I received a tin of ChaTruMue’s Thai tea in a gift basket and really enjoyed this fragrant tea. I’m afraid that I can’t find it in any stores. It is delicious both hot and cold. I would love it if you could find it for me. Thank you. — E. Patrick, Kennesaw

Q: I am trying to locate a reputable gun dealer who can appraise and advise on how we can go about disposing of my husband’s extensive gun collection. As we get older, we are trying to downsize, and none of my children are interested in any part of his gun collection. Thank you. — Claire Jo Wise, Roswell

Reader Gregorio Grupa is searching for Polo Brindisi Rosso, a jug wine. Not only can he no longer locate the wine, but retailers he asks about it aren’t familiar with the Polo Brindisi label. There’s a good explanation for that. Winemaking behemoth, E. & J. Gallo Winery, trademarked the stylized Polo Brindisi label in 1982. However, the trademark was canceled in 2004. I spoke to a rep at E. & J. Gallo, who couldn’t find any trace of Polo Brindisi in the company’s system and determined that Gallo no longer produced the wine.
