    @lousubcap Did you happen to look at the non allocated bourbons?  Were they priced fairly?  Wonder if the store bought those second hand and part of the reason for the stupid prices.

    Secondary markets on FB have driven prices out of line on Bourbons. Store owners are catching on and meeting somewhere between MSRP and full secondary. 

    Buffalo Trace store pick ranging from $22.99 to $38.99 MSRP to a full $80 on secondary is flat out nuts. My Old Carter batches selling for triple what I paid.

    My buddy said they were first hand. I don’t believe they could legally sell them if they were second hand. Not 100% sure but I would be surprised. Have to move quite a bit of regular product to qualify for receiving them. We have a local place with a similar collection. He bundles them with several considerably less desirable bottles and charges a ton. Not quite as much as this place but somewhere between realistic and this guy.

    @saluki2007 - a couple of price points, Buffalo Trace was $40 and Eagle Rare $120.  Those I made a point of pricing however all the others I glanced at were plussed up more than what I consider reasonable but not as obnoxious as the museum collection offerings. 
    Something has to make it go.  I'm guessing the locals are familiar with the price points for the normal offerings (I did not look at the wines or other adult beverages in the store) and that makes it work.   FWIW-
    Your assessment for how those top shelf offerings are there definitely makes sense.

    Welcome aboard and enjoy yhe journey.  Above all, have fun.
    Now the question- how were you able to source those two pours in this area??  Better to be lucky than good right there.  Well played.

    @lousubcap- it was complete luck (unfortunately- wish it a strategy that I could replicate).  TotalWine drawing, both my wife and I got our first pick. No need to play the lottery, have used up all luck for a long time!

    I don’t drink beer all that much anymore but when I do it’s typically a wheat beer.  This one is one of my favorites.  IPAs just make me feel like crap anymore.

    Always good to see baby-proofed electrical outlets back by the diapers, you can never be too safe with electrical outlets.

    Tip, not one way or another but my house is 200yrds from a bayou (creek) with Javelinas, feral hogs and coyotes that sometime wander close.   It can be off-putting.   I’m more rural than an LA apt.   I guess it could feel like Juarez but I’ve never been.
