    I'll be spending Thanksgiving in Bonita Springs, FL and was wondering where I might find Bourbon County (regular and variants) nearby on Black Friday.

    I'm hoping for recommendations in Fort Myers or Naples (since both are within 30 minutes of where I'll be staying), but if I'm forced to drive a couple hours then Sarasota/Bradenton, Tampa/St. Pete, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale are options as well.

    Thanks and cheers, South Floridians!

    Total wine. One in Naples and ft. Myers. Naples probably a little less busy

    On a side note stop by momentum brewery right in Bonita. Good beer and a fun place

    Hate to start a separate thread, but I'll be staying in the Palm Beach / Ft Lauderdale area (again) for Black Friday.

    Would appreciate it if anyone could share best bets for which bottle shops to find BCBS in that area, most likely to have variants, and any related events that may be happening.

    Cheers!

    TW Naples had 1 case of vanilla rye and approx 30 cases of coffee, bcbs and bcbw.

    Fairly decent line before the store opened for Naples, Florida. Will be there again this year.

    Any bottle shops or liquor stores worth checking out besides Total Wine?

    No. 3 Craft Beers in Cape Coral is doing a 3-year vert of BCBS on Black Friday. I'd guess they'd have some bottles too.

    Heard this last night as well. I wonder if anywhere in Naples will be getting the other variants

    Probably not. Distribution goes by territories and if Total Wine isn't getting it I doubt the smaller guys will. Might have better luck in Broward or Ft.Myers.

    Yeah I agree, seems trade value of Rare is coming back to earth too so not even sure I could try to trade one for regal and coffee which is all I really want! Family being in Naples is really cramping my style haha

    I'm visiting family in Naples and trying to decide whether to go to the Total Wine in Naples or Ft. Myers. Any one know if Ft Myers will have variants or which ones they might have?

    So just as a post mortem- TW Naples did indeed get 2 cases of Rare. Before they opened this morning, store employees plucked 7 of those bottles, shutting out 7 customers who waited in line. This is not good practice. Especially when employees brag about scoring Rare early.

    I worked for Suncoast until I moved to the PNW in August. I KNEW they were sandbagging some older BCBS in that warehouse!

    Yeah, that is a tough situation because I have been that employee that wanted stuff like that and perhaps even felt it was a perk of my job that I had access to it and now I am the employer that wants all of that to go to our customers... Being a small shop, I am thinking we save a couple (literally like 2) of bottles and drink them collectively as a team. And if there are any left at the end of the day, it is fair game. Rubbing it in the face of potential/current customers is absolutely unacceptable, in fact, so ridiculously unacceptable I really, really hope I never have to address that particular issue....
