when i lived in SC and Total wine first opened up, i was blown away by such an awesome store. most places had a horrible selection of just about everything. and the best part was how knowledgeable the staff were.

hope you are able to grab a bottle!

I actually prefer ordering online.
That place is overwhelming inside and you always wind up leaving with things you didnt come shopping for . Not a problem, or a problem... not sure

Edit: Currently out of stock on blantons :cuss:

Our liquor is regulated thru a "State Store" so priced at suggested retail; ie Blanton's @ $54.99 but only certain stores are allocated a few bottles, you only know the delivery day not if they are even getting any, and you have to be waiting at the door when they open to maybe get a bottle. No luck so far. And to boot our Atty General cracked down on importing spirits into the state so my usual go to (Ace Spirits) no longer ships. Using
Blackwell's Wines & Spirits. If you are into craft spirits try Seelbach's.

Ace is where i ordered by Lagavulin

another good one in Minnesota is Haskells wine to order online.

are you in PA by chance? i grew up there and remember the state store bullshit. and you had to buy beer by the case (unless at certain take out places. we'd go into Trenton usually to buy it : cheaper.

Unfortunately mass doesnt do shipping of alcohol. Had some absinthe shipped from the u.k before it was available here, and it made it no problem... Via private courier.

What's Fueling the Billion-Dollar Bourbon Boom?

Describing the surge in popularity of bourbon over the past two decades as a “boom” implies there may also be a “bust” somewhere on the horizon. At this point in time, that seems highly unlikely. Last year, Kentucky distillers filled more than 1.7 million barrels of bourbon — nearly four times...

before i forget @Boatguy did you get the Blantons? i was up in Denver today and stopped by my favorite mega liquor mart. they get one case a month and it's gone the first day they get it. Crap!

i did get a bottle of James E Pepper's 1776 straight rye whiskey. never seen it before but it won double gold at some spirits competition. 100 proof and unfiltered. gonna knock back a few of them tonite!

Speaking of Denver. What’s up with this 1 oz rule. Makes it hard to obtain weight for the winter when you can only get 1 oz at a time.
