Del Frisco’s Buys More Wine and Booze Than Barclay Prime and Butcher & Singer Combined
Ranking Philadelphia's biggest buyers of wine and spirits.
Anyone serving wine or liquor in Pennsylvania has to buy their hooch from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. At my request, the PLCB has made its 2011 records for Philadelphia wine and spirits purchases available to the Philly Post.
Here, a list of the top 100 buyers in Philadelphia based on total dollars paid to the PLCB in 2011. But what I really want to know is how do I get a membership to the Order of Owls (see No. 24) and what the heck is going on at the Tender Touch Lounge (No. 83)?
