​Don’t Get Mad… I Paid for It!

Big Guy and I frequent a variety of stores in the St. Louis area. While we tend to purchase our wine and spirits at smaller and locally owned venues, we have signed up for the loyalty clubs at Total Wine and Wine and Cheese Place. Why? The big reason is the sale prices and lotteries for hard to purchase items.

Case in point, Big Guy won the lottery to BUY a bottle of Blanton’s. I know it seems strange to say you cannot get it here unless you have the “luck of the Irish,” but the new reality is many spirits are in high demand. Have you tried to buy a bottle of Springbank scotch lately? Good luck!

I already have my Blanton horse collection complete thanks to friends and local bar owners. For those who do not know, the horse stopper has a letter on it which together spell out Blantons. It has been a couple of years, so I am looking forward to my first sip while watching my horses run!
