I went to TJ's this AM and returned with 2 good finds.
The Duc du Normandie calvados is usually a seasonal item available in the Nov, Dec time frame. It's a nice calvados at a good price ($19.99)and I use it in Chuck Taggart's very festive Réveillon cocktail. I never found any this year. They do seem to shelve it in random spots so it could be that I just didn't look carefully enough but today I spied a bottle on the shelf and snagged it so now I'm ready for next winter 🤣
Also @rotuts's $2.99 Malbec finally turned up on the left coast so I picked up a couple of bottles to test out.
They were out of regular cream cheese (just had the "lite" stuff) but the tater tots that had been MIA for months were back.
Edited to add that the Malbec is surprisingly nice for the price. I'll go back and get more. Click below to see @rotuts's post that has photos of the label:
