Roma is usually good, but I have no fucking idea what’s going with ownership/management. They’re all over the place about being open during normal hours and picking up the phone. If it’s a long drive for you, I can send you the owner’s number. Their Sazerac Rye pick is a 9 out 10 rye for me and it’s $34.99. If they have some please let me know because I need to restock.
Ly’s is in EADO. They usually have all of the same picks as NASA and they randomly have allocated Total Wine picks.
NASA is probably the best, but it’s in Clear Lake. If you’re that far south, you might as well go to First Sip.
Liquor Source is in Tanglewood, and it’s usually pretty solid.
Ryan’s in Spring sucks in my opinion, but you should be able to get an Old Forester Barrel Strength pick.
Dandy’s in Katy hypes the shit of their picks so they sell out in a day. I’d call before you head that way.
Rice Liquor is in Bellaire. They usually have 2-3 picks out. I kind of stopped swinging by because they did a few too many Dickel picks for my liking.
