Good Evening Everyone, I know we’re about a month out so I thought I’d ask now since I’m a bit new to the area. Any good places to look for BCBS aside from TW and local Specs locations? I usually like to keep a few bottles of regular lying around throughout the year. There’s a few variants I’m also looking for although it’s unclear which ones we’ll even see here.

For variants, Total Wine will be your best bet. They usually know the variants they are getting 1-2 weeks before BF. Lone Star Beverage and Kegs & Barrel usually get a decent selection of variants. Regular BCBS can be found typically at Kroger plus all the places mentioned. It sits around usually until Jan
