What did you pass up today? Summer '13

[smknjoe]

I passed up 4 more bottles of WTR101. I've seen this in at least 4-5 stores in recent months. This place had them marked a little higher than most at $22 each.

Glenfiddich"Cask of Dreams"2011 release and a ton of Beam Decanters that were way over priced.

I keep passing by rowan's creek and corner creek. Read a lot of good reviews from before they went NAS...

I donated platelets earlier, so I'll have to make up for lost time tomorrow. In the mean time, I just nod and say "Yes dear", which has gotten me by this far

"Yes dear", that was the greatest advice I ever received from my uncle!

One of my best friends who passed too early (he was 15 yrs older) was always entertained hearing my tales of woe. After months/years of laughing at my expense, he let me in on the secret. "You still think being right, or 'winning' is important. It ain't! Peace and goddam quiet is what's important my friend!" Ever since then, life has been much smoother

That'd be a decent price in these parts ...

I've been telling my friends "you can be happy, or you can be right" since we were in college.

You learned much earlier than some of us

[MyOldKyDram]

Yes. Opinions in a relationship are generally best when kept to ones self.

The validity of said opinion has no bearing on this rule.

Passed on a WT American Spirit 15 yr old. I hear this is good stuff, but not sure it is $90 good.

[ChainWhip]

Not today, but passed up 1st ed. WLW 19yr & WLW'06 recently

[LostBottle]

But... But? But!

[Kpiz]

Passed on last year's GTS, priced at $160. I asked if they were willing to negotiate and he said "no, sir, that is the price." Sigh.

[skidfive]

LotB x 2 at the low low price of $199 per.

that beats my low price of $169.99 that I ran across not to long ago

I was tempted to ask if they were by one get one at that price but there was a line behind me.:skep:

Passed over a quad of ECBP's and a couple Bowman Millennial bottles today. Hmmm'd and haw'd over them for a spell before deciding it would be too much of a PITA to wrap them up to survive checked baggage. I hope this isn't a sign that Whiskirexia Nervosa is losing its grip on me...if WN is wrong, I don't wanna be right....:crazy:

Wow, I always respect your control. How about shipping it instead of checked baggage if time permits.

I may have done the same as well if it would be extremely inconvenient or high risk of failure.

Joe, that Bowman Millennial is some pretty decent stuff IMO. If you've never had a taste let me know.

Say what??? Those of us mere mortals in the GBS depend on your WN to provide new and unique bottles for tasting at the periodic events. Get right back out there and get those Millennial bottles right away!

I stopped by the Bowman Distillery gift shop yesterday, and they didn't even have any. I was hoping to find the earlier Abe releases, but no luck on any.

I know, I have failed you....I hope GBS can forgive my miscue. But truth is, I had snuck into Yeti's basement bunker at the time and I heard him coming down the steps...as it was, I pulled a hammy jumping out the window...I probably would have broken the Millennium anyways, on my fall....

Comon joe. You can take him. He fights like a girl.
