RC pick in the background?
Yessir and on top of our barrel. Got the Spanish oak in the garage.
My wife might kill me if I bring another one home. Going to start letting others keep it or break it down to wood projects. Just wanted to keep it because it's my first pick.

and a tie fighter!
I cracked the RC and NR picks last night to kick off Friday football dinners.
I'm a nerd. I have light saber holders on my wall
I suspect Alabama is going to have their way against this team.
Wrong thread. Still feels right.

My favorite OF.
Honestly my first OF in my collection. Wish they were actually sold in Texasz
Finally opened up one of the pick bottles for the game.
My fresh crack. Shifted at the last minute
Just grabbed a bottle of this tonight and pretty excited about it. Cracked the Bombergers with a buddy on Thursday, and it's really good too.
The 2022 is fantastic

Never understood the obsession with Shenks. The label maker and marketing team worked hard I guess
It and Bomberger's are Michter's limited releases. Usually with 2000 bottles or less. They use it to try interesting and unique things and the on shelf price isn't ridiculous (at a decent store). I've had both of the 2023 versions and both are dang good.
Both use malted rye this year. Shenk's is partly French oak aged, and Bomberger's used Chinquapin.

Interesting. So they play around with the recipe with each release?
I dropped by the Rough Draught after the game and had some hefty pours of Blanton's gold. Yes, I'm an self admitted tater.
Blanton's gold and SFTB are light years away from traditional blantons!
It's good stuff

Yep. Each year is a unique batch
I really enjoyed it. Never had Shenks before but even the neck pour was really good. Excited to have it again as it opens up more too!Phat32 said:

Something about a tradition when it works
I mentioned earlier that I was going to conduct a Charity Raffle featuring all the TexAgs Barrel Picks. Y'all were so amazing in supporting the Blue Skies Foundation and I truly appreciate it.
I reached out to another TexAgs Barrel Picker for other charity suggestions and he recommended Head for the Cure. Thanks 07fta07!
The mission of Head for the Cure is to inspire hope for the community of brain cancer patients, their families, friends, caregivers and other supporters, while celebrating their courage, spirit and energy.

I've got a busy fall so give me sometime to put this all together and I'll keep the board posted with how it will work and how to enter. Thank you for everyone who has donated a bottle for this. I am only missing the Buffalo Trace TexAgs pick at this time. If anyone has an extra bottle laying around that would be awesome.
Cheers.

Why does state law get into this?
Explain it to me like I'm 5. Whats the difference?

Think it is a work around from not using a distributor.
He can buy on the secondary and resell pours.

Just a heads up, total wine sent out the fall priority access email. Good luck!
TW Fall priority access signup went out today
Good timing
I was thinking the same thing! We are definitely winning something this time lol!
Looks like M10, HH20, EHT SiB SP, Blantons reg/SP/gold, knob 20, willett 8 purple & others for the Houston locations - no BTAC etc
Hmm I didn't get priority access email. Not that it hurts my chances any to win.
BTAC will be later in the year.
Ah word
I never get the email to sign up. Just sign up here if you are GR https://www.totalwine.com/fall-whiskies-and-bourbons-grand-reserveMediAg13 said:

I don't know if this selection and pricing is a win for anyone.
It's pretty tough this time, and the pricing is bad
