Reds and Whites are down since Covid, but still have stock of Sauternes. That's the beauty of Sauternes, they last for the long haul.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I was actually surprised that nobody touched the Grey Goose. Maybe the problem is that it was not open and for some reason folks don’t like to touch it.
Also, I did have a few bottles of Tito’s which went quickly (vodka tonics primarily). Vodka seems to be the most popular when folks come over.
My go-to liquor are Mezcal, scotch, sipping tequila, and Japanese whisky. But of course sometimes you feel like something different.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
I listened to a segment on Fox Business News this morning and they were talking about alcohol consumption.
If you include the loss of sales due to restaurants being closed total alcohol sales are only up 2%.
I guess i'm doing better than I thought. None of you need to burst my bubble either.Synology 1019D+ - SGC Sonictransporter I9 w Roon/HQ Player- UltraRendu- PBD Stream IF to Playback Designs MPS5 via fiber optic - ARC 40th Anniversary Pre - ARC 610 T's - Martin Logan CLX's - 4 Martin Logan Depth i Subs - Shunyata Hydra & PC's.

Re: Before Covid-19 & after
Good news on the vaccine front with Moderna joining Pfizer !
My money is on Pfizer though, after all they created Viagra. So if they can 'raise' the dead they should be able to protect the living ..........Cheers ! …. Dave
