Hello, from San Diego county

[Balchinian]

Thank you for this site. I've spent many a night at work reading through the forums. Brevity is the soul of wit, so let me just say: I'm here to make friends, drink bourbon, and learn from those who came before me. I look forward to the adventure!

welcome from another west-coaster (up I-5 from you in the Seattle area) - I love visiting your city and you've got some good whisky hunting grounds down there!

Welcome from a former San Diegan. I love the area for everything except bourbon hunting!

Howdy Balch. It's been several years since I've been to SD, but it was memorable. Great to have you.

I hear you. I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore hunter, but I've had limited success. It's definitely not virgin territory down here. Seems the edges of the County are a little better than the City proper. The only "true" dusty I've found recently were two bottles of Weller Centennial (Frankfort) for $35 each. But I still enjoy running into random liquor stores..... as my wife rolls her eyes

Next time you are down (escaping the rain) let me know.... we can open a bottle!
