Our local total wine gets Weller pretty regularly, and though the prices have all gone up, I still get all 3 for under $30. If they didn't have a "one bottle per customer" policy, I'd buy the entire case when they get 'em in.

You're right about the state to state thing. It's funny what things are more expensive and less expensive. Bourbon for the most part is priced higher up here. But vodka and gin, holy hell...I get get a handle of Ketel for $26. Stoli about the same. A handle of Bombay Sapphire for $28. Rum is also crazy cheap up here. Scotch is about the same I guess.
If your professor gig doesn't work out, you could quit your job and sell secondhand Weller in Tennessee full time. And I'm totally not kidding. All three of those Wellers for $30 or under? Seriously? Good lord, man. Huzzah for our country's patchwork monstrosity of liquor distribution laws that's resulted in a totally arbitrary retail market! Where prices make no sense, supply and demand have nothing to do with anything, and people have take state governments to the United States Supreme Court to open a freaking liquor store!
