Re: Makin' me thirsty!!!

Rant warning: In California, I was able to buy hard liquor in any grocery or drug store. Here, you have to go to a state owned ABC store. You can't buy ANY liquor before noon on sunday, which happens to be when I go grocery shopping (cause the stores are empty!). Does anyone really think that buying beer before noon on Sunday means your going to consume it all that morning?! Why are these blue laws still in existence!?
Consider yourself lucky. In South Carolina you can't buy anything before 1 PM on Sunday except gas and food. If you walk into a super Wal-Mart they rope off the grocery side and cannot allow customers into the dry goods area until 1:00. And no alcohol at all on Sunday. Here in Georgia I can buy most everything at any time, but cannot buy any alcohol at all on Sunday.

I do have a wine shop just a few minutes from me that says they can special order any mead I desire. They carry Chaucer's in stock, but say their wholesaler carries much more.

Yo!

Oskaar checking in from So Cal. It's booze paradise here! From 6:00 AM until 2:00 AM if you're hankerin' for a tug from the jug you're only choice is which store to hit and how much you want to spend.

It's a wine lovers paradise (I have a wine store that I go to frequently for my wine Jones, and one that I go to when I want mead)

They both ship and both have excellent inventory:

Try Southern Seasons in Chapel Hill. They had Tej, and a sweet and a dry Mead last time I was there. The food co-op in Carrboro has "DESI'S DEW", a pretty good sparkling Mead.
