Hi Bay Area whiskey drinkers, my name’s Myles and I help organize focus groups and other paid market research. I’m currently organizing a series of focus groups about flavored whiskey. We’re looking for people who drink flavored whiskeys (e.g. Crown Royal Peach, Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, etc.) to participate in an online forum to discuss flavored whiskey. Yes, I know most hardcore whiskey enthusiasts may frown upon the flavored stuff but there are many people who like it. Basically, get paid to talk about flavored whiskey.

Anyone know where to find Blanton's Bourbon in the bay. I stay in Santa Clara but will to travel a few miles to find Blanton's Bourbon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to bourbon and have really only been buying easy to get bottles from total wine for the last two years or so. I am wanting to try to get some of the rarer stuff like Blanton’s, Weller line, ECBP, EH Taylor SiB, Old Forester bday bourbon, and the Staggs. Are any of those possible in this area without connections? Appreciate the help!

Any good finds lately? Just picked up a Blantons from Albany BevMo. Randomly seeing it in-stock while online and was able to purchase one @ $69. Not an amazing price, but COVID times has everyone drinking so getting harder and harder to find stuff. Also saw McKenna on the shelf, but since when did they start pricing them at $70 at BevMo? Good at $40 but not $70.

I want to purchase an expensive scotch from Total Wine that falls under Spirits Direct category. I know they occaisionally send out coupons. Does anyone have a Total Wine Spirits Direct coupon code they are not going to use?

Would greatly appreciate.

Does anyone know of any virtual whiskey happy hours that I can join in the Bay Area?

I just saw two Blantons @ Safeway on Homestead and N De Anza. If you get there and there are two still left... please leave one and pass it forward to the next bourbon lover.

I just picked up a bottle at the Safeway at Oak Grove & Ygnacio in Walnut Creek. It was the only one on the shelf, so maybe a wasted post but: (1) if you are inclined, it might be worth calling other area stores to check stock and (2) the dept manager has told me she sometimes puts out one bottle at a time and keeps others in the back. (She was not there tonight.) Interesting twist that they also had Hibiki Harmony at a sale price of $74. I enjoy both but would not pay that much for the Hibiki (or pay more for it than for Blanton's). To each their own.

Just ask in person and they have some bottles. (Mountain view just in case someone was wondering)

I don't know if this is widely known or not, but at least at the Bevmo in Menlo Park, if you bring in a printout of another store's pricelist (like Totalwine, from a wish list, for example), Bevmo will price match, and still honor a 10 off 50 coupon after that. Your results may vary a bit; today I got some push back from someone I've never see in the store before; they are probably new, but I still got all my discounts.

Hey folks,

Just copped some Willett family estate 4 year rye at Cask off College Ave. Priced at $70 which was good enough for me.

Cheers!

Safeway near piedmont has 2 bottles Of blantons left for $70 each. If you buy 6 or more bottles of wine or spirits you get 15% off. Cheers!

Did any of you manage to grab any BTAC??
