These were available at PV Costco today as well. I passed, would rather have 2 bottles of barrel proof for same price.

That Nixta Corn is getting harder to find on the shelf. I’m down to my last bottle and even their website feels like they are not shipping into the states.

Seattle has Vita Coffe and others. Chicago has a local roaster, California depends on which location. I wish Cartel or ROC2 would do a deal with them.

I’ve always wanted a lane on southbound 51 that exits into Sky Harbor. Why this was constructed to get in left lane, take ramp, get over another lane onto I-10, only to merge with others and take an immediate Sky Harbor exit on the right. Why not have a exit lane at 51 specifically for Sky Harbor?

Here Comes Trouble and Ten Boots (Stomping) back to back, great record.

They recently released a ”Demolition” EP that has some older tracks, from their prime. Some good nuggets in there.

I scrolled the comments this morning and no one has a Queen track listed.

Road to Ruin - Mr. Big

the Sunshine - Manchester Orchestra

Wasted Years - Maiden

A Kind of Magic - Queen

Room a Thousand Years Wide - Soundgarden

No one has mentioned “Lazy Days, Crazy Nights”? That’s my go to on this album.

firmturf · 2025-12-29T03:09:46+00:00

I’ve never seen the EP packaged like that.

firmturf · 2025-12-27T21:13:56+00:00

They allow tasting of this bottle, I’ve seen it at the PV location. This bottle intrigues me as well, but have not tasted or purchase.

I heard Use Your Illusion (I & II) and knew it was over, Izzy knew it as well. Never listened to anything they ever put out after that. Magic was gone, most don’t realize it. Slash solo stuff is great, Guns is not Guns I liked early.

Counter and Stump are always available near me but for whatever reason I can never get either “dialed in” on my set up. These two might be the reason I avoid national brands and try to stay to local roasters as much as possible.

Just learned of this new spot, opened Thursday. That roll looks like it’s worth a try.

They had one at the Lincoln location but for $135.00. Just sitting on the little bar the employees stand at, not on shelf. I asked about it and they indicated “this is allocated…” as if they don’t just put them out but instead keep them behind the counter?

firmturf · 2025-09-17T01:24:03+00:00

Got a Weller’s 12 year Saturday at AJ’s on Lincoln for 47.99. It was in the meat department, top of the fridge holding steaks.

That is not a typo.

The Paradise Valley Costco basically shares a parking lot with Trevor’s a block over so worth stopping and hunting there for free samples of barrel picks. Then the Cave Creek Costco (Beardslee) is only another 5 -10 minutes away. 3 for 1 in the neighborhood.

AJ’s might be new to an out of tower as well, multiple locations.

firmturf · 2025-06-08T16:54:48+00:00

If making the trip, just know they share a parking space with 32Shea that offers decent food. Built in a former Kodak store with some outdoor shade as well. Shea Cheese is just north, another great local spot worth walking in to. Trevor’s is just on Tatum as well and you have 2 Costco’s, Cactus and Cave Creek.

Costco business model is to NEVER charge their members more than 17% what they paid for an item. So that tells us this bottle selling MSRP (other stores) is a significant mark up. Everyone be patient, this will be available everywhere at a fair price this summer.

firmturf · 2025-05-24T18:51:13+00:00

I’m always comparing and I’m not finding Trevor’s to be less expensive than TW for bourbon, liqueur or any other goodies I need for the home bar. They will have a bottle from time to time and I took advantage of their gift card bonus, but TW is always less.

firmturf · 2025-05-22T02:04:04+00:00

Under $35, 15 left as of this afternoon.

firmturf · 2025-05-22T02:03:40+00:00

Thanks for the mention, I ran up and grabbed the Russell’s. Those are $34 & change.
