Last month, they had cases of it, and WTRB rye, at the package store in Norfolk. Maybe I'll ask Mom to snag me one, next time she hits the base. It was out of stock for 4-5 months and when it showed up each Total Wine store got a case each which sold very quickly. I got three at one of the less traveled TW's and have been picking up 1s and 2s at my local as they appear. When I first mentioned it some here said it was sparse in their region as well and others said they had plenty so it must be regional. Russell's Reserve SiB has been out for even longer. Still haven't seen it like 6 months now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markandrex Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I was out running errands today and stopped by the LS that I dropped off doughnuts to last week. The manager reached under the counter and said, “I’ve been holding this for you.” Now I need to get more doughnuts for them. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Very pleased to find a bottle of Smoke Wagon UCUF yesterday when I went to Jersey in search of jazz records. Of course, I immediately had to have a pour while listening to the Gerry Milligan - Paul Desmond Quartet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was batch # 141, and the interplay between the oak and the honeyed high rye mashbill is as exquisite as that between Mulliga'n's bari and Desmond's alto.

fosmith Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Today I ordered a bottle o High Wire Distillery 100% Jimmy Red corn bourbon from Seelbach's. It's a cask strength single barrel private selection. I had one of these (albeit a different barrel) a couple of years ago and it was fantastic and I love the back story on it. Only three cobs were left in existence of this heirloom corn variety when someone rescued and revived it. Free shipping offer for National Bourbon Day forced me to pull the trigger on another. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMatt Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah, and Take 5 is one of the best pieces of music ever recorded. I know someone who thought classical music was the ONLY music worth listening to for 60 years til he heard Take 5. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT the Bose 01 series was so successful that they were still around when I was in college. I considered those, but I ultimately went with a pair of JBL's. They rocked much better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Bose back in that day was nice but you had to research the power driving them. Apples to apples if you will! Lots of folks didn't do the math and paid the price for longevity. My stereo from the late seventies, still rocks because of this. I could get into a whole breakdown but, bourbon rules the night; so not needed here... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
