@dptalia Thanks so much for posting your comment. I just ordered one for myself! Do you happen to know if each bottle is different or if there are duplicates?
FYI, Total Wine does advent wine calendars too. I have to find one near me and see what they have. Maybe I could do a second advent wine calendar in January. The January wines would have to be dry, though.
@dptalia@Kyeh@chienfou Yeah, Massachusetts used to be one of those Puritanical states that wouldn’t allow alcohol to be shipped to it. We still have some of our (literally, I’ve read) Puritanical “blue laws” on the books. Quite some time ago alcohol sales on Sunday were prohibited, but that gradually relaxed, although there may still be laws about when on Sunday it can be sold. Time are a-changing, though. We’ve had cannabis shops for a few years, but only after a citizen referendum made them legal. Nevertheless our state legislature dragged their feet for a couple of years after the referendum was approved, before finally obeying the will of the people and issuing licenses.

I was actually quite surprised when I couldn’t buy beer in the grocery on Sunday in MA/CT on our trip. Even in Alabama that’s allowed now…
edit: looking this up now I think the guy in the store was lying to me…
@Cerridwyn@jouest being on the mailing list is a must. Especially to get a heads up on all the good deals that Bill Penzey gives us when he gets pissed off at the current leadership in DC.
Maybe I should finally partake of this tradition.
I bought 3 of these, and they’re all gifts.

@ItalianScallion I don’t know if there are dups or not (hoping not). This is the first time I purchased this.
I didn’t know about Total Wine! I need to check them out.
@dptalia @ItalianScallion
Hahaha
@dptalia @ItalianScallion
Casemates should do this!
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh That would rock!
@dptalia @ItalianScallion @Kyeh
Especially if they would (finally) ship it to Alabama!

@chienfou @dptalia @ItalianScallion @Kyeh I don’t think stores were open on Sundays when I lived in Massachusetts.

@jouest you mean you are not on his absolutely wonderful mailing list? He almost gives me faith that will survive this, almost.
@Cerridwyn @jouest
I wanna know what’s in it and it doesn’t say.
@jouest @Star2236 well I think mostly it’s just trial sizes of almost everything. In a pretty package. Which is why I didn’t buy one for myself
@Cerridwyn @jouest @Star2236 Look at the nutrition information and you’ll get an idea.

I plan on finishing the crochet advent calendars I bought the last two years.
@sammydog01 now I have to google. I’ve been crocheting like crazy lately.
Bonne Maman! It’s so fun!
@sillyheathen
I’ve always wanted one of those but never have ordered.
@Star2236 if you are a carb and jam kid, I highly recommend it. I make batches of crumpets now in the winter just for this advent.
@sillyheathen @Star2236 I bought one of those mini pizelle makers just for my jam calendar.
