I don't drink anything but wine, so I didn't even know what it was.

And yes, during the holidays the lines in the liquor stores are horrendous. Although, I don't believe I've ever seen a liquor store that HUGE! <br /><br />I was cracking up at your pictures. That bottle of vodka...lol! I would've wanted to drink it standing in a line that long! And I know I would've been tempted to pet that lady's fur coat! Or at the very least tell her I loved the color of her turquoise purse!<br /><br />Glad your line moved along quickly and your cashier was friendly. That makes it worthwhile. <br /><br />I hope you enjoyed Big Rex...I mean your Rex-Goliath ;)<br /><br />Are you keeping warm? It was -7 this morning!

That's a big store! I have a favorite - my old neighborhood's package store. Periodically they have a sale for 20% off a case, and I stock up then so that I'm never having to buy at the last minute. I know you don't have storage room - I do it because I have a big basement and plenty of cool storage. In fact, my sons friends are all convinced I'm an alcoholic because of the big wine rack in the basement!<br /><br /><br />I like Rex Goliath. It's a good wine at a reasonable price.

It's gigantic! And good for you for taking photographs and then blogging about it because it made for a very entertaining post.

My time is way too valuable (I just decided this one day while I was standing in a line somewhere).
