    Not familiar with Riverbend but I used to play Westwood several times a year and I liked it.  

    Yeah. Fan of Westwood. Nice track. Shit location. It’s also a lot more expensive than RB, so trying to see if RB isn’t a more reasonable alternative if the golfing/comraderie is good there.

    Oof.  That sucks.  How difficult was getting the LL claim done?

    Still going. They make it intentionally difficult. Documentation requests are endless. Am told we are two weeks away from an “offer”. Been going for two months consistently responding to neverending requests. 

  3. I had to send the wife’s Cayenne Hybrid to the Stuttgart pasture. Made it to just shy of 800 miles and it’s crippled. Been in the shop for three months and they have zero clue how to fix it. First lemon law claim I’ve ever had to make and hopefully the last. What a damn headache.

    Looks good. You don't have to tell us the price, but were the dealers trying to hit you with a lot of "market adjustment" BS? I know GM is trying to void warranties to combat flipping right now. Looking at the recent BAT sales, it seems to be working. Lots of no sales as of late.

    There’s enough now coming off the line that dealers are largely at sticker. Got this one for such.

    Yeah I think they figured it out after a couple hours. The first email clearly stated $10 per ticket. Second email scrubbed the $10.

    I’m sure the TABC will be stopping by. 

    I hope they do. Specs is shit.

    Another rabbit head scratcher. They sent out an email on Wednesday they’re conducting a $10 raffle ticket program for WLW, Handy, and Pappy 23. 500 tickets.

    My buddy goes Wednesday night and buys a ticket for 10 bucks. Texts me to say the store has 100 tickets left at 6 pm Wednesday. 
     

    I had a window between meetings today and I popped in there around 10 am and buy my weekly rations. Got my ticket. No charge. I received an email 2 hours later that they had 250 tickets left. 
     

    Uh what? Their size/market share must be the only factor saving them. They might be the most disorganized public or private company in Texas. 
     

    My people know their stuff, but at corporate level, my goodness, what a shit show. I think I got conned on a raffle ticket, but they didn’t take my money. 

    They might want to look into the laws of Texas which I believe strictly prohibit raffles by for profit entities. 

  7. Barton is underappreciated for cheap neat drinkers. Can’t recall if I already mentioned a handle of Tom Moore bottle in bond is right around $20-22. It’s almost untouchable at that price point. 

  8. That said, I hate the whole concept of “allocation” anyway. 
     

    Maybe just make more of it if you think it’s so special?  Or are you afraid to find out it’s only special because you say so?

  9. I actually like the new model. Why wouldn’t that be more fair than the current hierarchy awarding every allocated bottle to just the guys at the top?  You spend, you get allocated bottles. But you don’t get to keep your place in line permanently. You have to spend more to get another allocation. So that others have a chance at the bottle for having also spent.

    I'll admit I'm stumped by this abbreviation.  Elijah Craig Barrel Proof something something. . . ?

    Agree with your comments about drinking what you like, regardless of whether it's a unicorn.

    Elijah Craig Private Barrel Barrel Strength?

  11. JD BS and BP are both single barrel, but BS is a fixed proof (like Weller full proof) and is their shelf offering. I’m sure the picks are great. Will need to try.
