27. We have Costco here

May 2012

But our Costco liquor stores are very limited - Big bottles of the very most mainstream liquor around. Jack Daniels, Smirnoff, Beefeater, etc...I think I might have seen a bottle of Patron in there but I don't even consider that as good as many other tequilas. (Herradurra fan right now lol). My local Publix (grocery store) has a better beer selection - though not in the same quantities.

I don't remember what scotches Costco had but I don't remember because I looked and wasn't impressed (Was actually looking for that Balvenie Doublewood). Luckily, I am close to a Total Wine and Spirits and they have damn near everything. They have a whole section of scotch that has to be kept under lock and key. Short a good day at the lottery I doubt I'll be tasting any of those soon...

But hey, If I do win the lottery I will plan a vacation out your way and we can kick back with the kick-ass bottles I bring and the kick-ass cigars your wife recommends!
