Las Vegas Airport to Get Liquor Store

ByJonas Halpren
If the prices are better than the strip (not hard), this will be the busiest liquor store in Nevada!
 
Travelers arriving at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas will soon be able to stock up on booze at the airport.

Clark County commissioners this week approved negotiating a lease with local Lee’s Discount Liquor for a franchise at the airport to be called Lee’s Runway Liquor.

The 1,200-square-foot store will be located near baggage claim.

McCarran will become the first U.S. airport with a full-service liquor store, although it’s not uncommon in other parts of the world.

  • 2009 Caretaker Pinot Noir – Wine Wednesday

    ByRachel Halpren

    Another pick from Trader Joe’s. This wine was purchased for $9.99, a steal for a Pinot Noir from the Santa Maria Valley, which is near Santa Barbara California. For those of you who remember, this region was part of the Sideways journey. I am pretty picky about Pinot and this is one of the growing regions that I think produces some of the best Pinot Noir in California. My fave is Russian River and the Santa Maria Valley isn’t far behind.

  • Seven Spectacular Italian White Wines For The Holidays

    ByRachel Halpren

    Tonight marks the Feast of the Seven Fishes in some Italian families. Others will choose to celebrate tomorrow. But, it occurred to us that there will be a great deal of fish and seafood consumed in the next week as Christmas morphs into New Year’s. Our own family traditions have come to include heaping amounts of San Francisco’s local dungeness crab. For Christmas, we make the local San Francisco seafood stew – Ciopinno – a medley of seafood and fish in a spicy tomato broth. For New Year’s, we get a smorgasbord of local shellfish – crab, shrimp, oysters and clams (if you are on top of things, order from Swan’s Oyster Depot, which has been slinging seafood in San Francisco for 100 years). What goes better with seafood and fish than white wine.
