re: Total Wine on Vets - Soft Opening Today

That stuff is usually what they have at the sample station. I have tried Green Spot there as well so its not all low or medium quality stuff. They will frequently have vendors set up nearby sampling their wares, too.

However, I have sampled plenty of bourbons by asking the person who is working that whiskey section. They always have a few bottles open and stashed somewhere. They will also pass along any info on allocated stuff they're aware of, including at other stores, even locally owned.
