Phil T Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I probably get to KY 4 or 5 times a year. I always look for VOB 100 but seldom find it. I usually have luck in the Lexington area but seldom at The Party Source. Today, after picking up an order at TPS, I shopped the shelves. It was pretty unremarkable and a lot of the stuff is priced higher than it is in Ohio. However, they did have 12 bottles of VOB on the shelf. After a trip to Case Central, they brought me down a 12 pack of VOB Hundo. After a 10% case discount, the total was $162+ tax. I'm good for awhile. Prost!!

PaulO Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 There is exactly one store I know of around Indianapolis/Greenwood area that I can ever find VOB 100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davesnothere Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Today was our state quarterly allocation drop. It was recently changed to a lottery instead of walk up only. I didn't win one of the 50 spots in line, but I decided to do the walk up after the winners had their shot. There are two tables and you can choose one bottle off each table for state minimum. By the time I got to table one, the choice was between Blanton's , Weller 107, and JD 12. Table two was Weller SR, Eagle Rare and Old Ezra. I don't think I chose poorly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, the only way I got VOB 100 was drive to Louisville. This was when they were still making the 6 year old bond in the squat anchor bottle, very inexpensive too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTen Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Woof! And I thought I was doing good with a couple of ECBP B523s today - $74.99 OTD. Oh, and a Grand Mayan Limited Edition Ultra Aged Tequila (I know, I know - it's NOT Bourbon but it was on the receipt!) "We're not worthy!" 0n that haul. Well done! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not only did I find an Eagle Rare on the shelf today for MSRP they went and knocked $3 off of it. Nice… 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 100% my wife. She sweet talked the clerk and he went into their basement to raid the bunker. On 6/27/2023 at 9:45 PM, Harry in WashDC said: What I looking at?

That was intended to be a before pic, kind of like a Christmas morning snap before the kids wake up. 16 hours ago, mbroo5880i said: Wow, what a haul! Did the Weller come in a box? The Weller did come in a box. It looks like it was made specifically for the French market (700mL). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I can't recall seeing a Weller in the round shaped 375 mL size before so I went ahead and picked one up. 2nd one from the left in the photo. Of course I included the whole lineup for scale 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Had to go out and pay a couple of bills today. First stop, Allstate to review and renew our auto policy. Second stop, Comcast/Xfinity. We’ve been approved for a $30.00 monthly discount, but for some reason they can’t get it applied to our account. I’ve been screwing with this for over three months now with one employee, and three managers. Worked with one employee and two managers today. I was there for over a hour, and it’s still not resolved yet. Gotta make a call to ACP tomorrow because it looks like they applied our discount to something other than our internet. So, after spending a crap ton of money today, my wife asked if I needed to stop at Binny’s. Who was I to argue? Besides, we were just down the street. The MM family sized are on sale for $39.99, plus you get a can of nuts for a 1¢. I bought one. They had ER for $39.99. I haven’t seen ER for a while, so I bought one of those too. Yes, the MM was dipped by my gal at the distillery. And much to my surprise, the ER was a store pick. My experience at Binny’s didn’t make up for things earlier in the day, but it did help soften the blow a little. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
