As a customer of Spec's, I receive quarterly a free 25-page magazine called Drinks. It has the Spec's name on top, has some ads and a page of Spec's-specific information. The rest is filled with remarkably high quality articles.

Wondrich is the regular writer on cocktails. This issue he has an article on St. Germain -- does this mean Spec's will be carrying it now? -- and another on bitters. There is also a well-informed article on cask-strength bourbon and scotch, a regular wine article and another section on food recipes to match your wine.

I wonder if this is a magazine that is rebranded for other liquor stores, or only for Spec's?

I'd love to get this, rebranded or no. I've been shopping at Spec's for years and I've never seen or heard of this in the context of the store (though it sounds vaguely familiar). Where did you come by it?

Spec's really is a nice store. Unfortunately, I only get to visit it (maybe) once a year when we visit glorious Beaumont, TX for Christmas. They always have at least one thing I can't get at my liquor store here... Anyway, sorry I can't answer your question - just wanted to praise Spec's.
