That's a great color in the bottle, too much ice in the glass.....

FTFY

It's crazy how expensive those damn things are. We settled on one that was $500, on sale for $250. Out of stock. It was the only one we liked at any price. Some were $1200!

Our tree is probably 8 years old now. Still lights up.

We had to purchase a new one three years ago and even then, the sticker shock was palpable. We didn’t even buy the CVO of trees.

Cmon Jack give me a break on the ice.

BenchMark has quite a few variations to try. I’ve like both so far.
Buffalo Trace is the distillery. KY knows bourbon that fer sure.

same here. Since sears went out. Bought their top of the line model for a fraction of the cost back then. (over 500 bucks) we paid under a hundred. Probably the best value we have had in a while

I assume those of us begging to purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning so as to complete our Christmas season experience not only didn't win but will be receiving a dun for the amount of the non existent tickets?
