Garrett provided me quite a few different options to take home and try it during the inclement weather. Tastings definitely helped to make the determination of which wines I picked.

Upon finishing my military hair cut, I decided to get a special bottle of whiskey for my wife. I…read moreremember her telling me about Royal Crown and a new flavor called Apple last year. Today, I stopped by to see if they had a bigger bottle of whiskey than the size that was bought last time. Sure enough this store did, but I saw something that changed everything. Next to the bottle of Royal Crown Apple are a few bottles of Royal Crown Peach. Something I figured my wife would want to try since she loved the Royal Crown Apple. Once again my suspicion were correct and she loved the Royal Crown Peach. The manager told me this bottle is hard to keep on the shelf. I will have to keep my eyes open for two more bottles of the Royal Crown Peach should I see it.

They don't know anything helpful but what's in the store (in stock ). So women beware if you need help they won't . I will only go if it's a must .

I do have an ABC store two minutes away but if I drive three more minutes, I can go to this…read morelocation. The one closer to me is fine, but it is a bit of an older store. That being said, this one always has French pastis in stock & on the shelf; Pastis is similar to Italian Sambuca or Greek Ouzo but not quite the same, lol. Sambuca is made from elderberries, Ouzo is made from distilled grapes & aniseed, & Pastis is made from anise, star anise & fennel. The store only has Pernod, which we do like, but you can special order Ricard, which is mine & my French hubs preference; they are from the same company & are both anise-flavored spirits that have their roots in absinthe, but they taste different enough from each other. Pernod is the closet to Absinthe & the company, Pernod-Ricard does, in fact, make real absinthe as well. Look up the history, it's actually an interesting story of how Pastis came about. But I digress, lol. Pastis is an anise-flavored apéritif, or apéro as the French call it, & it is a digestif (aides in digestions). It is typically drank before a meal & served over a couple ice cubes & diluted with water so that it becomes beautifully cloudy & almost a golden, iridescent yellow. Pernod is made from distillates of star anisé (on of my fave spices), fennel, & 14 other botanicals such as coriander, mint, chamomile, & Veronica to name a few. Pernod has a low licorice content which sets it apart from Ricard, which has a more pronounced licorice flavor I must say the staff here is super friendly & the female manager is the best; she always has a big smile on her face. FYI ~ if you want liquor in VA you must purchase it from the ABC store aka Alcohol & Beverage Control Authority.

Hey Richmond, get your hands off liquor sales! It's time to privatize this in Virginia. Too many…read moreyears and enough. You're going to pay more for booze here. There's no getting away from the inevitable government run nonsense. Yet if you're in Virginia, not a lot of choices. Actually they do have a decent selection. Christmas time has wonderful gifts for the relatives. Clean spot as well. The employees are courteous and knowledgeable. It's a good location. If you're unsure of which to get, they always provide guidance. Please don't drink and drive,
