Are the people in Tennessee friendlier than most other people in most other places? That’s hard to say. You can find friendly people everywhere, but I can tell you that it’s especially easy to find them at Total Wine & More here in Brentwood. A big thanks to the staff, and the three hundred or so Tennesseans who came out this morning for a handshake, a photo, and a signed bottle of Knobel. I’m much obliged.
A special shoutout to McKenzie, the only dog I’ve ever been asked to autograph, and Baby Max, who didn’t have his ID, and could therefore not complete his transaction. See you in 20 years, Max. Also, a friendly nod to a rather adorable puppy who was named “Knobel,” in honor of my 
grandfather. Speaking of which, the Barrel Strength (121 proof) is not yet available in stores, but preorders can be placed at Knobelspirits.com, for shipping in time for Father’s Day.
In other news, you can still register for my conversation with Dave
Ramsey at 7pm CDT tonight . Sign up for the livestream at Ramseysolutions.com. It’s free. We’re calling it America’s Labor Crisis, because we’ve got one, and something needs to be done.
P.S. The enormous cock in front of the tasting room isn’t mine…
