Keep forgetting to post this, while on the big wine trip to the Finger Lakes, I passed up a few things, the most notable of which was an almost complete (-1 pawn) Old Crow Chess Set at an antique shop. They were asking $400 for it. Some of them were unopened and many of them still had whiskey in them.
The owners claimed they would dump them before selling them but they were most likely teasing me. They also had a lot of Ezra Brooks memorabilia which I also passed up.

Re: What Did You Have to Pass Up Today?
Yesterday I passed on an old half-bottle (didn't check to see if units were in Englich or metric) with a faux tax strip of Four Roses, not the bourbon but the blended whiskey.

I'm usually with my wife, when I swallow my brain like that in a liquor store. So, I suspect Mrs C. was with you.

Re: What Did You Have to Pass Up Today?
I don't think I passed up much. I came home with 23 bottles of whiskey.
My wife is getting a bit worried. I told her it wasn't all for me.Last edited by tommyboy38; 07-17-2009 at 17:15.

I'm thinking about going back for it, but 80 bucks is a lot to spend on a bottle of whiskey...
