Worse. A state liquor control commission that used to be run by the Italians and now the Chaldeans, who contract with warehouses and delivery cos, and set approved liquor lists and minimum and max shelf prices.
So the warehouses get the contracts by hiring the family members of the commissioners, and have almost no service at all. |

Please remember the coc regarding sales and trades.
Plenty of options other than the open forum for hammering out details. What I don't see I can't mod.  I live in one of those states so I get it. |

No but I wish I could get OWA like Ohioans. If you didn’t know, OWA stands for Ohio’s Weller Allocation.

I usually see a case of it every other week or so, and Blanton’s is usually on the shelf in Idaho. Our allocation system is not the worst. Wish they would change the lottery systems to ID residents only tho. Our whisky/scotch selection is absolute garbage, but bourbon beats Colorado for ease of hunting. I have stopped at a few liqour stores in smaller Montana towns that were absolutely depressing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My wife lived in PA for awhile, I almost never drink but PA is a pia Booze and gasoline are the two things that I regularly travel into NY for. In the spirit of the thread, it doesn't look like PA has any current lotteries going on, but I believe 4 Roses and the VanWinkle line will be coming up soon. |

Blue laws suck, and Kentucky has a bunch, but I thank God that we are not run by the Ky .gov.
We are just run by the damn politics. But still....that's way better than having the state run the liquor stores. |

Most places (at least in the towns) are wet (or maybe damp) now. Took a while but our whole county is wet now. People are finally figuring out that to keep the place alive, you need to get your hands out of the business. Only time I've ever seen the bootleggers and the churches on the same side of an issue.

I had hit up Binneys when I was out last time. |

Binny's is the only store chain I really know about but they have a bunch of locations. It is actually worth visiting multiple locations because they don't all have the same selection. I have 3 within reasonable driving distance from me so I'll hit all of them in a weekend. Armanetti's is a smaller chain and I believe the closest one to Chicago is in Addison. A little pricey but they do get allocated stuff, you just have to ask for it. |

I live in Pennsyltuckey, so I can't have/get the truly good stuff.
Of course, I (pretty much) gave up drinking in March, so there's that too . . . ! That said, if you can get it, there's a PA vodka which is - far-and-away - the best vodka I ever had. It's called, Penn 1681. $17.99/5th. Unbelievable stuff - smooth as silk with NO nastiness. Thank me later. |
