Like a Kid in a Candy Store......

Entering Julio's Liquors today, I was once again in Heaven. I love going to this place, even if it is way out in Westboro. The selection they have there is always worth the trip. My initial agenda was to purchase the beers for my upcoming beer judging event, since Julio's is probably the only liquor/beer store I can think of that has enough selection to find what I need. And of course, that's not all I left with. Yes, I got the beers I needed. But, then I found more beverages I wanted for myself, for Colleen, and maybe for some other special people. Despite spending quite a bit of time and money there, I will say that I'm proud of myself. I resisted buying some hot sauce from that enormous selection from the Burn Center, or a cigar from the Smoke Shop. They also have something like over 75 selections of whiskey. Can you imagine the experience you can have from this place? You could be sipping a nice imperial stout or bourbon while smoking a cigar and...eating hot sauce. Well, that last option doesn't seem to fit as well, but oh man, everything else sounds great. Their wine selection and rare liquors are also great. I realize that it sounds like I'm giving a major plug for Julio's, but really I'm just explaining why I had such an exciting day out there. I wish I had enough money to just sample everything. In due time. In the end, the final tally, or "damage" as the cashier called it, was......$185. Nice.
