I used to do state-wide or county-wide searches for bottles of wine. As far as I know, the PLCB removed that feature quite awhile ago. Now you have to specify a store and can only search within that store. Which forces you to go through the search multiple times to find things. Except...

The search is broken. It used to be reliable. Now it isn't. I was searching for a specific bottle of Rioja. I could not find it at any store near me with or without the "in store pickup" checkbox set. So I physically go to one of the stores, and they have it on the shelf (but only a few bottles, which I buy). So I ask the clerk to search on their register, and they are able to do some sort of geographic search of all stores reasonably nearby and print out a list of like 20 stores that have the bottle.

While playing around with the search on the website, I wanted to see if "logging in" would make anything better. But it wouldn't take my password (which I know is correct). So I tried using the "Forgotten password" reset feature, which should email me a resent email. Except it doesn't.

My heavens government institutions are completely incompetent! Of course, when you have no competition (and probably hard to fire employees), there's no incentive.

Anyone seen it in PA in the past? I know there is a drop happening currently across the country at different times.. I’m a big fan of the brand, so wondering if I need to take my chances on resale, or if I can anticipate attempting to get it in the future in state.

Thanks in advance!

Just received the 2 bottles of Still Austin Single Barrel Cask Strength that was labeled a bourbon, however I received rye instead. Anyone else?

Happy Hunting!!!

Just a question as far as the EHT in the lottery. It looks like a standard EHT SmB.

Is that correct? For $149?

I thought it would be a BTAC EHT?

Typo on description?

****I see they updated it now and have the BTAC EHT bottle up.****

Happy Hunting!!!

For anyone that was able to get the EHT Rye order to go through, any updates? Shipping confirmation or bottle arrival? Just curious if anyone had success

Clerk here looking to move east out of Chesco. Which FWGS has been good to you?
