prodigy Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 So do you know if there is any difference between the old square shaped bottles of 4 Roses LE and this newer more oblong shaped bottles? Aside from the bottle of course...They just switched the bottle they use. They make a small batch limited edition blend every year. I've only had a few but I've heard they're all usually pretty good. I had 2 from last year but didn't think they were worth the price and sold both. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightonCorgi Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Just picked up two cases of 1985 Ferreira Vintage Port. Great producer, great vintage. Will age for a last time, but never a block buster. Just elegant for ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I have found is it doesn’t matter so much how much you buy, but how often you frequent the store and then also store selection. Like IMHO your better off spreading your budget over the year as opposed to maybe making a few big purchases when store wide sales come around. The store managers typically reward regularity over one large one-off purchase. I would also recommend getting to know who handles the allocated products (wine/whisky/whatever) and get to know them and then make a point to chat with them every time you are in the store. They are more likely to help out their “friends” Lastly I think store selection plays a big part in this as well. It’s always better to be a big fish in a little pound if at all possible. Since it is impossible keep up at the spending levels of super high end stores regulars. Obviously this takes a lot of work and you will have to put in a good amount of time, but this is how I have managed to get allocated stuff from a few different places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they're still full by the time they drive home. God forbid someone gets a DUI or causes an accident. Snaps of liquor bottles in the car isn't going to help their case.

I have a couple other stores I do that with (well not now because I'm in Afghanistan), but the way that the ABC stores are in Florida, it doesn't matter. Those guys cannot do anything to help you. What happens is that you spend enough to get gold status, and then they email you access to the rewards page. It gives you something like 24 or 48 hrs access and then it closes again. Whatever is available in their warehouses for purchase at the time is the only thing you have access to. But it's not run by the local store or stores in FL one may frequent, it's done elsewhere. I don't know how they pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
