Spec's in Houston - Yeehaa!

[hotwine]

Went over to attend niece's wedding shower, and got taped to pick up a few goodies at Spec's to add to the two cases we took over with us. Holy smokes, what a jernt! Have heard about it for years, and use their website (specsonline.com) to check regional availability and comparative prices.... but first time for a visit. Huge facility! Staff person every ten feet, very helpful, well-labeled sections and aisles, kind of a candy-store-for-adults atmosphere. Ran in with B-I-L, spent about $250, and ran back out again; teeming hordes of people, most leaving with two-wheeled dollies piled high. Glad it's four hours away, couldn't afford for it to be closer. They have branches all over town and also a store now in Austin, but the place in downtown Houston is still the Big Kahuna. Manoman. Nice!
