I had no idea... I better get down to Charles St. Liquors and stock up while I still can.

TABC sucks all kinds of ass.

I hear that Sierra Nevada's Oktoberfest is really good, but you can only get it on tap. Still looking for that one.

I picked up some Chimay Cinq Cents and Yalumba Y series Shiraz Viognier from Total Wine last night. If anyone hasn't been able to find those, I believe that is a fairly large chain. I'll post impressions once I drink them.

Has anyone been watching or ordering from http://wine.woot.com/?

I'm all mixed up on which week is when. Might be better to add actual dates. Whenever mine is, I'm just gonna go ahead and pick Flyingdog for the time being. I haven't had time or the money to try some of the stuff I've been wanting to. I really like flyingdog and it has a wide variety of beers to offer. I actually just tried their Dogtoberfest last night and I though it was pretty good.

I want in on this action. Sign me up for a week.

Earlier in the week, I found the fucking best online liquor store. Unfortunately for you guys, they only deliver to Australia ( http://www.nicks.com.au/index.aspx ). I went nuts and bought 11 bottles of wine:

I can't believe the value of the Yalumba wines. Even the site i got this shit from is pimping them. The entire Y series is supposed to be great, and at this online shop, they're only $8 AUD, or $5-$6 USD each. All of these wines are supposed to be of a similar quality but are more around the $10-$30, which is still remarkable value.

While I haven't been able to find any of the wines recommended so far I did see a different Yalumba. I'll have to pick that up.
