Well, of course I said no... she was looking pretty sore, but she said she'd be fine and we stopped... Unfortunately they didn't have anything new so we got a couple waters and were on our way... So now she's finally seen first hand that I CAN indeed stop at a liquor store and walk out WITHOUT a box of bottles... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to question it... I think it may have been the anesthesia still working its magic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as we all know you don’t argue with the little woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Picked up some minis today. Got tired of paying $19 for a double WT101 at the hotel bar. I can get the same thing at a LS in minis for $4.50 and put in my carry-on, yes please. Got 4xWT101, 2xMM, and 2xWR. That was the entire selection of mini bourbons they had. Works for me, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongGone Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Picked up some Bakers, a Bookers 2016-06, and a HW American Prairie. The Bakers will likely get the wax cracked here before long. Have a good weekend all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Found a RR SiB PS today at one of my usual stops. Not sure the age of the barrel (I'll find out), but I'm a sucker for PS bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$helby Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Purchased yesterday from a NCABC store: ETL, ECBP, OFBB, WR CHERRY WOOD, and 2 more LB for the bunker . Pretty stoked about the first 3, hope I don't regret buying the last three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tasty and easy to drink, Much better than I expected, and will be one of the few I would recommend in its price range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PVW23 came from the hotel bar, she let me have the bottle with the purchase of the last two pours-- which were returned to the bottle for later consumption. My palate was too cooked at that point from multiple THH pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDN98 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Even though it was Total Wine, I felt I needed to get the 4RSB store pick because we rarely get 4R store picks in my area and I have been wanting to try this recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonNit Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Even though it was Total Wine, I felt I needed to get the 4RSB store pick because we rarely get 4R store picks in my area and I have been wanting to try this recipe I don't know from what I've read here and others places about how 4R does it PS I wouldn't be concerned about a pick from TW. 4R seems to have people that help with the picks and give a lot options. I do find how TW seems to put of a premium on the barrel pick pricing a bit annoying. Especially compared to thee standard pricing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Picked up another W12. Went into one my stores I stop by somewhat often to do a little looking around. The owner was like ,"your the W12 guy". I've been asking for it the past couple of times in and mentioned a store close by got some in.She pulled a bottle from next to the register she was holding for me. Love good CS.At this rate I may need to pass up W12 next time I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
