We can get Bourbon's and such from places in California that sells wine. The label says wine but there's good stuff inside.
Stop in for a drink.

I won’t hold your wrong opinions against you.
Oh good to know. Where do you find them online?
I have bought from Shared Pour, Don's Liquor and Wine, Del Mesa Liquor, and Ace Spirits. They may sell to your state. May be not.
Thanks. I’ll check
I need to update my photos.
You have quite the collection. It’s a thing of beauty to be admired.
I have a few dozen more stuffed in different places. My better bottles are in a old secretary.
Now I can save these photos and I will be close to up to date. It's not pretty but it's functional.
Lol. Ok now that’s amazing. I’m speechless
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And that is beautiful.

Tasty stuff it is too 
We have it here but I haven't tried it. I have messed with Everclear and some clear spirits. I have a couple of small barrels and tried oak chips and spirals. My best is barrel finished and then finished in Amburana wood. (from South America)

Manuel used whatever grapes the local wineries had a surplus of. Some years it was red, some years white, some years a blend. Most consumers preferred making wine coolers with it to mellow the alcohol % Back of the bottle says "No water. No filters. No ****." Manuel was a member of the local Elks Lodge and had the bartender there save the empty wine bottles for him, the dairy had the proper equipment to sterilize the bottles.

I should add to the above. Chateau Dutra as we called it was never sold that I know of, it was always gifted. Manuel's dairy was right up the street from the rock farm I worked and as neighbors often do, we traded services. He needed road materials, no problem, we fix him up. We needed fertilizer for the landscaping he had our backs . Not too many early mornings went by that Manuel wasn't in our little office/control room for the asphalt plant enjoying a cup of coffee with us and discussing the news of the day.

It's hot out and time for something cool to drink. How about a Vodka Tonic?
