Between making Aviations for guys and Blue Moons for the ladies, I've become known for Crème de Violette and getting bottles for a few friends. I just got a text from another friend yesterday who runs the wine program at a couple well respected restaurants. He also found the only existing case at the 300 W. store.<br /><br />I did ask at the point of the mountain store. It's pretty big, but they were hopeless when it came to help. On one hand, I already have a couple bottles in the house. OTOH, I will probably pick up a bottle, or two, for future friends that need it this weekend.<br /><br />Too bad they don't appear to have a case of Creme Yvette laying around to get a bottle of it to compare against the Creme de Violette. The Yvette is twice the price and made by the same people doing St. Germain.<br /><br />So many liquors, so little time.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436598235395809478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037291149269900795.post-75371978860177182062011-01-19T19:14:26.187-07:002011-01-19T19:14:26.187-07:00Hi Brownbag:
As you're probably aware by now,...Hi Brownbag:<br /><br />As you're probably aware by now, the Utah Mixologist is a full service blog. I remembered that my wife had called me when she saw Crème de Violette (CS#908474) on the shelf one day and I had her pick a bottle up. I just called the wine store at 280 W Harris Ave (1605 S 300 W)((801) 412-9972) and they have 11 bottles in stock. Depending on when you see this comment, you might want to call ahead.<br /><br />As an FYI, I don't think that the DABC always updates item status when they change it. For example, Makers 46 is also marked as special order, but I have seen it stocked on the shelves at three different stores. What I do for hard to find items that are listed in the book is to call (I usually have better luck on the phone and at non-peak hours) one of the larger stores and ask them to check the code (code is better than item name because then they can't answer "no" off the top of their head) for me. If they don't have it I ask them to check if any other stores have it. Sometimes it works!<br /><br />I hope you get some Crème de Violette,<br />--Jim--UtahMixologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908034750478399815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037291149269900795.post-3228799004343034652011-01-17T21:41:53.691-07:002011-01-17T21:41:53.691-07:00Unless there was a short period Crème de Violette ...Unless there was a short period Crème de Violette was really available, it shows up as "S" now. I asked at my local store and they told me all special orders require ordering 12 bottles. It might as well be not available at that point.<br /><br />It looks like I'll have to continue to use my regular source.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436598235395809478noreply@blogger.com
