calldoctoday Wife and I were talking about going to aid those so devastated. I’m kind of in the middle of a project converting my pit to a mobile concession stand, adding flat top grill, convection ovens, sinks heated water system and sides that go up making awnings. There always seems to bepole of great need, and sometimes a good hot meal can make someone feel cared for. Funding has been tough, my business has fallen 80%, hope it picks up soon so I can complete this.

Yes, I have been thinking about it too, but it is hard to leave my business, especially now. I used to be able to do it, but if I leave it now, especially after we suddenly got real busy after months of not a whole lot, it probably would not recover & that is not good for the long haul. We may still be able to come up with something before it is all said & done & I certainly have got a lot of calls.

Well this post has been quiet for way to long, did everyone stop drinking? PapaSop with the Holidays right around the corner anything new out on the market that we need to be on the lookout for?

Heavens, no. Not with everything still going on.
I think I’m just too busy drinking to come over here and write it all down.

Rather surprised myself that this topic hasn’t popped up in a couple months. The way business is going I’m pretty sure no one, I repeat no one has stopped drinking! The last couple weeks is what I’d call normal but that’s after record weeks ever since this Covid crap started back in March.New products… Wow, wouldn’t even know where to start. Averaging 5-15 new products a week. I know bourbons have been a big topic here. A few recent that have been flying out of the warehouse.
Old Elk, Very Old St Nick, Drop Tine and Devils River.
Everything by Ole Smoky Distillers… mostly flavored products.
I could go on and on… BTW, still drinking my MGD… Yeah, I know.

PapaSop My 21 year old son just started working at one of the high end liquor stores here in ROC and gets to peak at the boss’s stash in the back for his VIP’s. They trained him when anyone calls asking for allocated bottles to just say NO we don’t get any! But the boss had a football party at his house and was raffling off bottles and he came home with some Weller 107! Good boy!!! I’ve been working my way through the 4 roses line.

Parksider The bourbon world is so weird lately. In Ohio, I can get all the Weller Reserve ($25) and Weller Antique 107($49) I want. People in other states are paying up to $200 a bottle for the same stuff. It’s a great pour. But, won’t spend that much on it because there’s enough of others to taste. I won a Weller 12 and Weller CYPD in local auctions. But, have many other types of bourbon to choose from to keep the taste buds very happy. When I won the two Wellers, was offered $250 for each and turned them down because I like to share “rare” one’s (aka: special) with other bourbon buds/lifetime friends in and out of the area. That means more than the dollars. Just have some fun my foody buds.

zbigjeff I can get the Antique and Reserve for those prices but availability is few and far between. I’d buy it by the case if I could find it
Joe Hell You and me both. I ask my guys to get me a case or either and they look at me like I’m nuts.

Chef Well, we are all “nuts” to them when others refuse to understand or are very narrow minded.

Yep. Anything that is allocated is obviously in high demand. Glad you have an inside track. -

Nope. I work for a wholesale wine and spirits distributor. 30+ years. Two more years to go and that’s it. Will be time to rest a bit. -
