re: Progress at Total Wine & more in Metry

No clue, but that 100% tariff isn't in effect.

That's for damn sure.

This is me when I walk in

To answer all above, anyone who hunts bourbon can tell you they put out the hard to find stuff at secondary prices. example would be the BTAC series that retails for $99, they sell at $499.

The issue I have with them is the pricing on a fair amount of everyday bourbon. If you don't know the fair price on some things, they will hit you for $15-$20 markup. Not on everything but on enough to make me go elsewhere before I go there. I still go but their prices push me to go shop a few places before I check them out. Two examples that have recently happen was a few months ago Dorignac's and Martin's both had the Old Ezra 7. Martin's sold it for $38 while Dorignac's price was $60. Elios only charges $40 for it when they have it in stock as well. I don't mind an extra $3-$6 here and there but when you are $15-$20 more than everyone, that's bothersome. Next, just recently I was looking for the Isaac Bowman Port Finish which is an extremely easy to find bourbon. I knew it was a mid $40s bottle. Dorignac's had it but was asking $65. Went to Martins and got it for $43. Zuppardo's had same bottle for $42. Nothing wrong with Dorignac's if you have some knowledge of cost before you go. They do have plenty of fairly priced liquor as well but it would be my last stop. This opinion is totally based on bourbon and scotch...I have completely 0 knowledge of wine.

I also find Dorignacs expensive and almost always higher than Martin’s. I rarely go there for that reason.
