This raised a guestion. I can go into ethnic markets and find
anything but booze. I know it is well regulated. Has anyone seen
legit ethnic liquor stores?

Ooh, moutai. Put's hair on your chest (inside and out).
Tastes like good moonshine to me.

All I find in my local stores is saki and Korean eqivalents. Sure wish I
could find some sorghum wine because you know...


If you drink our wine,
You'll breathe well and you won't cough;
If you drink our wine,
You'll be well and your mouth won't smell bad.
If you drink our wine,
You won't kow-tow to the emperor.


From the film Red Sorghum, 1987, Dir. Zhang Yimou

Don't know what the liquor regs are in your state, but in NY City only liquor
stores may sell wine and spirits. In those liquor stores in Chinatown, you can
find Chinese liquors. Japanese sake and plum wine can be found almost
anywhere.

Haven't had a Chinese one in years. Pretty herbal drink it was, too -- on the
order (very broadly) of our Benedictine or some digestive, but of course using
earthy Chinese herbs.

I can shop the mega warehouse liquor marts and find limited import.
In the SW I'd drive across the border and stock up for special
occassions. Yeah the tequilla came with the worm. Customs wouldn't
bother you if your trunk didn't collapse the shocks. It just struck
me I've never been in a purely ethnic liquor mart where the liquor is
imported from the native country.
