Antone's Wine & Spirits

So this was a bizarre one. We were checking out the liquor stores in the area and nearly drove past this one, as it (for the most part) appears to be a plumbing business on the outside. My buddy stayed in the truck and told me to wave him in if there was anything worth checking out. We didn't have high hopes. This tiny store had some big bottles and great prices. Weller Special reserve, EC BP, Larceny BP all on the shelf at MSRP.Behind the counter, like nearly every liquor store in America, sat a museum of dusty allocated bottles that they were attempting to sell well over secondary prices. That was really the only turn off of the trip. The lady who helped us was very friendly.

My husband and I been coming into Antones for a few months now, as it is the closest liquor store to my new house. We've always had a good experience despite some items being a little higher priced. Unfortunately, I was denied the right to purchase a bottle of bourbon today because I was told it was being held for a "regular customer" who called ahead and hadn't paid for them yet. Sorry, I'm not on first name basis yet with the lady running the store, but technically I am a regular customer... until today. I'll spend my money at DEPs down the street from now on.
