    In their video, Allagash implied that Chicago (and the rest of their markets) would see FV13 distribution. Any sightings yet?

    Emailed them a couple weeks back about FV13 and got this back today.

    "Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for some accurate info [on FV13]. We are shipping out to our Chicago distributor, Windy City, next week. You should be able to find it late next week or early the following week."

    What places would get it bars or retail? If so who do you think?

    IMO Binnys is just too big to allocate something that limited....

    There were a few bottles at Printers Row wine yesterday. Was there around noon grabbing their last bottle of Raspberry Truffle Abduction. Great selection and the guys who work there are super nice and knowledgeable.

    I heard around 10,000 total. Not extremely limited but allagash has a large distro area.

    Nate - Willowbrook Binnys just tweeted that they got it in along with Golden Blend, Willowbrook isn't too far from where we met for that trade awhile back in Hinsdale.
