    They got 1 case in at Oakland Bevmo. All gone by lunchtime, 2 ppl bought up the case online.

    Their regular customers got nothing. Makes sense.

    Did the Sacramento area Total Wine stores ever get these in? I tried to keep a watchful eye out for it, but we all know how fast these things fly off the shelf...

    I know they got them in on at Arden (April 30 or May 1). Don't know if they're still in stock. I picked up a couple at Folsom TW too, on the 28th.

    Expensive.... Think it was $22. Even the guy at the counter was surprised. Had about 4 left.

    Bristol Farms in Newport Beach has it sitting on the refrigerator shelf, out of box, about 10 of them (I didn't actually count). Cashier said $15.99. I passed.

    Walnut Creek Whole Foods no longer has Parabola in stock.

    Word from the gentleman who does ordering/receiving for Pinole BevMo said that his distributor was showing 20 cases of Parabola had shown up within the past couple days. He has put in an order but is not sure of receiving because other stores using the same distributor have higher priority on product shipments, but this portends that there should be Parabola to be had in that region tomorrow.

    Indeed I am, however, I paid $12.99 for the same beer elsewhere.

    I, too, am a fan of low prices but I must admit anything below 14.99 for Parabola is pretty rare. MSRP+$1 or $2 for this year's vintage is a fair price for such a great beer. In the land of overpriced bombers and 750s, Parabola is like a breath of fresh air.

    I received a notification from the Greenbrae BevMo that they have it in stock. Not sure about quantity but I think it's $15.99

    The BevMo in Canoga Park got some in yesterday. Count on their website shows them at having 4 left, so it seems as though they're going fast. If you're in that area, you can probably snag a bottle or two online and pickup later.

    My search for Parabola would make a great video if you set it to "Yakity Sax."

    I wish they'd keep more of it in CA.

    I received a call from Mill Valley market that they have it in stock as well.

    They keep a ton in CA. Paso Robles, CA to be exact.

    Bevmo in Van Nuys had some yesterday.

    BevMo will price match TotalWine.

    You just need to count your lucky stars then, but assume that there's not going to be too many chances of finding it below MSRP by that much. I'm happy when I find it for $14.99 at Whole Foods, but by no means would I turn it down if I saw it at $15.99
