    I got to Specs right at 10, got my bottles, and payed. Not that hard, don't know why everyone always complains about the line at Specs? Even had a minute to chat with Justin. A hell of a lot easier than trying to guess when and how much any particular HEB or Kroger will happen to have it.

    I called two Krogers (Bissonnet and Weslayan) and both said they had it. I get there and find out they were talking about Oktoberfest. Clueless. I got one bottle at Whole Foods on Bellaire.

    WOOHOO! Trying to get a case of the stuff.

    $8.41 Picked up 6 at midtown specs
    $7.99 1 at the Whole Foods on Kirby (You need to ask the people at the cheese section, 1 bottle limit)
    $8.41 Picked up 5 more at the Stella Link Specs, (2 bottle limit but the guy there is freaking cool and took the sign down saying "Help Yourself")

    Well guess I'm done, what a great year! Can't wait to crack one of these bad boys tonight!

    Wow I'm shocked! Can't believe they were gone so fast! The line was incredibly long though when I got there around 9:50 ish. I was all the way back in the parking lot.

    Good Luck to you all!

    Specs at Rayford has it. 2 bottle limit. At the check-out (which works out well.) $7.99.

    HEB 1488 has a bunch. 2 bottle limit. $8.49

    HEB at Market Street should get theirs tomorrow morning.

    Specs at 336 N (as of 10 am) said theirs will be in today, but they don't know where the truck is.

    As with a lot of the StA special releases, in Houston, after "release day" when the rush is over, it is sometimes easier to find at the smaller stores that get it on Wednesday or Thursday.
    So if you strike out today, there is still hope!

    2 HEB's and one Specs and I didn't find one. Do Twin Liquors or Randalls get any of this >

    Randalls does indeed get this, you need to ask. Also, make sure to ask them to check the back. Found some last year when I asked the guy to check. They had around 10 cases of the stuff back there that they had no idea they had.
