Two weeks ago I went to Van Loans Discount Beverage. I have begun to drink non-alcoholic beer. I…read morediscovered there was a great variety of brands and they were reasonably priced. I especially liked the fact I was able to purchase a German beer, Holst, for $4.99 a six pack. The taste was equal to any of the popular German beer brands. Unfortunately, I live in New Windsor N.Y. However, I will always stop whenever I am in the Kingston area. The woman at the register, I forget her name, was very helpful and very pleasant.

The person working there today was really nice to us, offered us a chilled bottle of wine we were buying. We are visiting the area and enjoyed meeting this guy. The selection of wine is very limited so I guess if you're looking for high end over $25 bottle of wine or something outside of Chardonnay and Pinot Cabernet you will not find what you want but they have some good wines there. There is a very nice selection of whiskeys, gins, tequilas, hard stuff - not sure about beer or cider but unlikely as there's not much room and not really any refrigeration except the little cooler for wine. Anyway support your local family business and go in, buy your neighbor a bottle of something. Love this place very cool.

I think I need to date myself tho lol. I'm a very cheap date now. Shh, don't tell anyone plz lol. 3 sips of my expensive tequila & it was suddenly today. Yay! I tried calling a few Liquor Stores, before speaking with Terrence at Merchant Wines & failed miserably. Terrence is a new hero to me now! Honestly, I've tried moving a pic to here. Nope. Part of my crap leftover mood, from past few weeks! Terrence didn't have any problems with me asking him questions about the tequila he had available or Knew about, nor about the Tequila I was looking for. He even Knew about the Mescal I was looking for! It's never available in States! Holy you know what here! WoW! He had none of the Mescal, but spoke with me at length about the Tequila he had. I told him my spending range & he told me what he had & Could Deliver To Me Too! WoW! What a difference A Phone Call makes!!! To a different Store! Add Terrence, et voila! Magic happens! I settled on expensive-expensive Tequila, written twice on purpose here lol. It is, but damnnn is it delish! It arrived within the hour. About 20 years ago I quit drinking. Couldn't stand taste or smells of alcohol! Alcohol is empty calories, just like fake foods. So, I just quit drinking. Wasn't hard, just smelling it on others. Yuck. Sorry. In other words, this was my 1st alcohol in 20 years. Yup. Now do you understand why 3 sips?! But, I did drink outta bottle like a pirate! Fun. Terrence went to trouble of explaining the distillation process of tequila, I was now panting for, to me. Guess he couldn't hear me panting lol. He was not only Professional, he was Kind & Patient! Funny too. I was cussing like a sailor yesterday! I took my fowl (lol foul, I know! Ok?!) language muzzle off! He just said, "Not a problem!" Each time, I apologized for my language muzzle being off completely! A gentleman too! Holy moly-diff word wants out badly now! Nope! I'm serious! He couldn't have been more perfect if he'd tried! Not kidding here! He "warned" me, about how the tequila was processed to be clear. He explained that it might have lost some of its earthy flavors in this process. While I may not have been drinking, doesn't mean I haven't been keeping abreast of Industry! Well, not just abreast lol. Nevermind me plz! Nope! I even called him back after 1st sip & told him it was soo good. Yumm I'd completely forgotten how absolutely lovely numb can feel. Especially for a few minutes! I love being Alive, but, please forgive my language here-You were warned! Life ain't for puzies! I guess unless you're a cat. Pbtt. Numb is ok, if done under my unblinking eyes lol. Well, for me anyway! Terrence man, You saved me yesterday! Thank You Sir! I am indebted to you now. Thank you for your kindness, your time, your efforts & the absolutely perfect tequila yesterday! Thank You Every Day Sir, for your Respectful Kindness towards me, when I was literally falling apart Sir! It's Your Treatment Of Me I Shall Never Ever Forget! Not to mention any future sips of Excellent Tequila I drink. Holy Yumm! Infinite Thanks Terrence! Jolie xx & gratitude
