I once met at an obviously out of towner at the grocery store. He wanted to buy some beer and wine. There are three beer distributors here that are pretty well known to the locals but good luck trying to send an stranger to them. They are often located in some back alley warehouse. He then said if they carried such and such wines. I told him I am sorry but for that you have to visit a state wine store which is located at....I must admit that being used to the system here, I am always taken aback when I see liquor sold at convenience stores.
