Given our liquor pours, might as well. But, fuck it. Liquor distributors in California are essentially cartels. There are two who control everything and you have to order from them. It’s cheaper to go to grocery store and buy a handle of booze and refill bottles than it is to buy from Southern and the other group I cannot remember the name of. They fix prices. But you have no choice. And if you go monkey business and fill bottles with off-licensed booze, they’ll date bottles and will report to Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) when things seem awry. Buying booze from an unapproved vendor is very illegal.
But you make it work. Cartel dickhead wants you to stock a new bourbon they’re over-leveraged on, cool gimme 10 kegs of not bad but not great Pinot Noir below cost. I’ll pour a pint of that wine for a JC brother without a second thought.
