In this episode, Lana from Red Dog Wine & Spirits joins the show to discuss the liquor store industry and talk about bourbon with us!

While we sip Red Dog store pick Blanton's, Lana discusses Red Dog Wine & Spirits' great selection of other single barrel bourbons, including store picks of Joseph Magnus, New Riff, Wilderness Trail, Larceny, Elijah Craig, Bulleit and 1792 Full Proof.

Lana provides an inside look into what goes into picking single barrel bourbons for their store, and tells stories of picking barrels with Al Young of Four Roses and Elmer T Lee of Buffalo Trace.

We also talk about how the Nashville craft beer scene is exploding with customer demand for Hazy IPAs like Bearded Iris, Southern Grist and Tailgate Brewery.

Lana shares how Red Dog Wine has also recently expanded their grocery selection in the store to offer more local artisan products, like Lechosa's Hot Sauces, dry rubs, meats, cheeses and eggs. The store is also starting to expand their alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage selection to include CBD drinks and organic wines.

We end the episode by talking about some funny stories that Lana has experience over the years with some of their more eccentric customers.
