    When are you coming out? I'd be interested in an IP trade.

    Any of those bottle shops have some Russian River to package?

    Some will. But they will sell out in hours if not faster the day a shipment arrives. If I remember the area around TO and Agoura gets theirs on Tuesdays. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    Total Wine in Thousand Oaks (TO) gets their RR on Wednesdays, around noon or so. This week they had Pliny, Damnation and Supplication. If you are around TO on August 5th, stop and see what they have. Ask at the front counter, or call. Bevmo in Camarillo get super fresh Pizza Port stuff on Mondays as well, if thats something you might want to try.

    PS. If you have time, Barrelwords up in Buellton is worth the trip. I would drive there just to get a taste of Brette Rose. :-)

    Not much free time during the day. Will finding a bunch of fresh Pliny to ship back be a challenge?

    Yeah as if you even find it (which is no easy task) on a shelf it will be either limit 1 or limit 2. Sometimes the beer guy/girl hides them in back and you have to ask. Though RR has cracked down on that.

    You would have to devote enough time to go to multiple stores on multiple days to get it. It would really fill up your days. Best bet is that you find out what days stores normally get it, and try to get there before it is gone.

    Wally's in Westwood gets RR shipments (if they get them) on Wednesdays, and when I stop by on my lunch break they are always down to the last few bottles. Best to call and have them reserved for you.

    Sounds like I am going to have to do some calling around no matter what. Maybe I can pay a guy at my hotel to go grab some.

    I haven't seen Pliny in Ventura County in about 3 years, you will not just happen upon it. Only people that get it know the schedules and are dedicated to getting it.

    So it seems that shipping a bunch back is either very time consuming or a pipe dream. Anyone want to help?

    Or you could keep on driving to the brewery and get whatever you want to ship back

    What sort of help are you looking for? I can set you up with whatever packing materials you need if you want to ship yourself. There is a FedEx just the other side of the freeway from the whole foods that's been recommended, I also live in that neighborhood. If it's not too many bottles I could probably offer to pack and ship for you if you wanted to leave them with me, would just ask that you PayPal me shipping cost after its boxed up.

    Maybe some packing or good places to grab stuff. We can talk when we trade. Thanks
