Hats Off to Total Wine



If you have a Total Wine store in your area, I strongly recommend checking it out.   My first visit was jaw dropping.  Of course, coming from Pennsylvania where you can't buy wine or liquor anywhere but the state run monopoly may have colored my reaction.  

The quality and selection at Total Wine is just amazing.   They have bottles of decent wine for as little as $3.50.  They have their own house wine which is quite palatable.  But get this,  THEY TAKE RETURNS!  Yeah, you read it correctly, they take returns. 

They will recommend product and then add that if you don't like it, return it!  Flabbergasted, I say I was flabbergasted!  My wise acre personality had to ask the guy,"how much has to be left in the bottle?"  I meant it jokingly but he said, we prefer at least half a bottle remain if you  don't like it.   If it takes a half a bottle to determine whether you like something, you need to trade in your palate. 

To top it off, their prices are consistently the lowest I can find on everything I have compared.  Again comparing to  the Pennsylvania monopoly I saw a $10 difference on a bottle of Jameson but even compared to the free trading Florida with wine sold darn near everywhere,  Total Wine normally has the best price.

These folks have a good  business model and if you have not checked them out when you have  the opportunity, you have nothing  to whine about when over charged for your spirits.  

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years.   I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt.   Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can.   The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas.   I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began.  I installed the shield and repositioned the handle.   Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine.   It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away.   It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence  of five pulls.   You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go.   The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly.  I was unable to get it to release line on the grass.  I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release.   I
