ski!
skied last night at elver for around an hour and a half. felt good to get out on the boards again. although conditions were less than ideal, it was good to be skiing in december for once.
so we're having a party this weekend. mostly people from our respective work places. but we're inviting quite a few people so we decided that a 1/4 barrell would be the right thing to do. we meant to order it over the weekend, but circumstances dictated that we weren't able to get to steve's liquour until last night. we figured that we were going to be getting something local, so it would probably be ok. well, we got in and asked and we were told that all keg orders for the upcoming weekend are placed monday at 5pm (it was 8). they went on to tell us that universally in madison, liquour stores require a week lead time. man was i bummed. in the back of my mind i was thinking "if the deadline is 5pm monday, does the order really go out monday or is it tuesday morning?"
i had a hunch, so we headed to the verona wine cellar. this place is literally mom and pops and is about the same distance from our house. we walked in and i asked if it was too late to get a 1/4 barrel for saturday. he said no. we ordered our spotted cow and he said he could have gotten that for us even if we had waited until thursday to order it. wtf??
long story short, steve's is off the list of places we will do business with. more importantly, the wine cellar is where we will be buying all of our alcoholic needs. whatever happened to customer service anyway?
