You some times wonder if they want anyone to stay loyal to the brand.

FYI: don't know if everyone saw this, but in 2006 Jay-Z went on a huge rampage against Cristal. In my opinion's rappers and artist's in the hip hop scene are the people that made the brand, and they turned their backs on them saying they would prefer not have these rappers as customers.

Some more info here about it:

Cristal is overrated in my opinion. I guess you can tell what I prefer. Give me a Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs or Bollinger RD over Cristal any day. As I understand it though, 2000 was a very good year though so I would be willing to pay a bit more to hold it.

As I said, at least it is a very good, and highly rated wine, unlike, in recent release, some wines... *cough* Opus One *cough*

Can the booze be picked up locally in NYC to save on shipping?

Unfortunately I do not have any contract with local liquor stores to do a pickup. There are certain stores we deal with that can deliver free locally, but for now its only limited to Manhattan (just on Saturdays) and Queens (all week.

BTW, please make sure someone over the age over 21 is ordering and there to accept the package's, these guys WILL refuse to hand over merchandise.

Unfortunately this is one of the most heavily regulated industry in the world, we cannot ship internationally

looks like that Ace Of Spades champagne is selling like water now, i wonder if theres out of stock issues down south.

Just curious. Is the business located in NY? Doesn't that mean you can only ship to NY as the liquor license is located there?

Side notes:
No Lagavulin? How could you?
Either way a very nice selection with the whiskeys.

With the vodka.. how could you have Belvedere and not Chopin? Tito's?
Also... awsome job with getting the Bong vodka. Not only is the bottle the greatest ever, but the stuff is top shelf quality.
