      I've only been to the Hotel Winnemucca where I shared a table
      and tales with a gold prospector and a railroad worker. They
      seat you table by table, amassing each tableful from whoever
      is waiting in the bar, and keep basic food coming and coming
      until you holler "mercy" or the Basque translation of the
      same.  Solid, down to earth fare, but the fun is the staff
      and, especially, your table mates.  Seem to remember a solid, down
      to earth red wine served in water glasses.
