A Bittersweet Day…
On to the next chapter...

**𝘞𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘕𝘖𝘛 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥, 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴!!!**

For the last 18 years we have poured our
🩸 😥 😭 into a business that we saw grow and flourish as we were blessed beyond belief with the absolute best customers, employees, and business community members one could only imagine. Now the day has come to move on to the next chapter as we’ve closed on the sale of our business this past week.

As you read these words, it may seem like this decision came swiftly overnight, but I can assure you that many months of contemplation and deliberation, even years of what was once considered “long term” planning, all of the sudden became a reality that was here just like the end of that long chapter in a book that you just can’t get enough of…and as this last chapter lengthened, priorities became more clear. Family and health, which had always been more important to me than anything, finally surfaced at the forefront where they belong. Our other business, Max Muscle Nutrition, an industry that has been a passion of mine since I was a teenager, had found its way in second place. It’s now time to direct my passion back where it belongs. Masters of Bourbon, a brand that I co-created with a very good friend and business owner, can now possibly be more than just a cool logo and a fun time?

So, as we turn the page, I don’t know what the next chapter has in store. I don’t know how I will feel in the coming days, weeks, and months. However, I do know there are plans, ideas, enthusiasm and eagerness to dive in and see what’s in store.

We wouldn’t be here without our wonderful customers over the years. You are the number one inspiration that drove our desire to be one of the best customer service focused businesses in town. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support.

Success has been driven and supported by employees…like the strong foundation you must have to build anything. To those that gave their 💯, I thank you also from the bottom of my heart. I wish the best for all those that have been a part of our company. I cherish your efforts and attitude.

My family ❤️ From my uncle, that taught me the business and gave me the opportunity, to my father that taught me the value of dollar, and not just taught me the importance of genuine customer service, but practiced it until the day he could no longer work; to my mother who taught me strong work ethic, and again showed it in her everyday routine whether it be her job, or caring for our family. Then there’s my brother, my biggest fan, who was there behind the counter every Christmas Eve. You could hear the pride in his voice anytime he said “my brother owns The Jug”. And my sister-in-law, Misty, who worked tireless hours to help grow the business and bought in from day one to the retail system we put in place….true loyalty. Lastly, my wonderful wife, so beautiful inside and out….you were the deepest driving force behind anything good I’ve ever done, and my safety through all the obstacles and downfalls that came along the way.

As they say, this isn’t a good bye, it’s see ya later and come see me at Max Muscle or at a Masters of Bourbon tasting!!!

Work Hard, Play Hard

RINNA WINES is a welcome invitation to call up your favorites, get a little uninhibited, and celebrate life. Book that last-minute getaway, live in the moment, and stop apologizing for it. The memories that stand out are always the ones where you feel your authentic self with your inner circle.
Live in the moment!

The MOB has been busy the last couple of months and all that hard work is beginning to show! This Old Forester Barrel Strength Single Barrel pick is the second opportunity we’ve had with this great, historic distillery.

Barrel Location: Warehouse J, Floor 2
Proof: 129.3

Nose: Nice, approachable buttered toffee scent opens up to the classic oak and leather notes that Old Forester is known for. Not at all the strong alcohol potent nose you might expect from almost 130 proof.

Palate: Very appealing oily, viscous mouthfeel with notes of orchard fruits, more on the tart side like black cherries. The sweetness shows up more from caramel and semi-sweet chocolate notes that marries perfectly with the tart cherry notes. Maybe a little pecan flavor I’m tasting too? The heat wave doesn’t show up immediately, but creeps in around mid palate that leads to an incredible start to the finish.

Finish: Like I mentioned above, the high proof creates a well timed heat wave that gets you ready to truly enjoy the finish. Layers of flavor make it difficult to pinpoint what you’re tasting….which only means you have to go back for another sip ☝️ Then your tastebuds start to settle in on what those flavors are and the layers unfold. To***co and oak, of course, are there but then give way to an incredible crème brulee satisfying sweetness. Pair that with a nice dark chocolate bitterness and you’re left with nothing else to desire.

We call it Jug & Bob’s — Cheers 🥃
