Wow, that was quick…
Whoa Free Rangers, Apologies for an uncharacteristic second note in 24 hours, but the Blanton's went really quickly, and we wanted to preempt any further clicking through to disappointment. Thanks to all who pounced with such haste, and apologies to those who didn't...
Schmanuary Redux + Roll Back the Clock on Blanton’s!
Hello Free Rangers, Back in my Seattle days, I wrote for the Rocket, the greatest rock paper in the lauded history of the great pacific northwest. I could never get the Stranger to return my calls (e-mails, or snail mail). They were the more general interest indy-ish...
Lost in My Mind
Hey Free Rangers, Whoa. There was just a paragraph here that might be too dark for general consumption. So, that’s been bumped to the bottom, for those who have the desire and the fortitude…. And hello darkness, my old friend. Going into the kind of year we are about...
It’s the End of the Year as we Know It…
Whoa Free Rangers, Exhaustion has taken hold. We here at Free Range are plowing through holiday season, heads down, nose to the grindstone (whatever the hell that means), deep in the weeds, and moving mass units (by our standards- a blip on the radar of a big box...
FREE Schrampagne tasting Thursday & EH Taylor Online Sale + A Love Letter to French Louie…
Some days are diamonds Free Rangers, Some days are rocks. This last Saturday broke a record for feet through the door per purchase made. So many indoor window shoppers and irl scollers. A 30-40 minute drone ensued in which we were consistently packed, and the register...
Lopez de Heredia in-store + Eagle Rare Turn Back the Clock ONLINE sale!
Jellō Free Rangers, The energy out there at street level these days is as focused and even handed as a Michael Bay joint, if not so inherently incendiary as a coupla weeks back. A far more accomplished writer (and better adjusted human person) than this one recently...
St. George Spirits in-store tasting Thursday!
Hey Free Rangers, First, on Turkey Day eve we received a 2-star (no review) Google rating. I wrote a public response which was posted the following evening en route to my folks’ place for wine, turkey, and merriment, and the original rating was deleted apparently...
Turkey Day 6-pack(s) Sale ONLINE ONLY plus Thanksgiving week Retail Hours…
Que Pasa Free Rangers, First, yes, the bottom most link on this page contains the 6-pack sale which led me to recommend to several of you not to buy some of these items today (as said sale page was actively coming together). No harm, no foul if you want to scroll...
FREE in-store TODAY – WEDNESDAY Rhone Wine Tasting!
Howdy Free Rangers, And welcome to a very special episode. This is space currently occupied by a void left in the wake of the recently redacted paragraph that once was, but poof, like Keyser Soze, it's gone. Perhaps a little too raw for moment. Exhaustion will exert...
Wasted & Wounded, Volpaia Chianti Riserva Sale, and Breuckelen in-store Thursday!
So That Happened, Free Rangers, Good luck to us all. Anyway. So in our last note, autocorrect un-spelled Neil deGrasse Tyson to Neil Degrassi (Junior High) Tyson. Having deep respect and love for the former, and having never watched the latter (though I know it was a...
