McCormick Details / Info / Thoughts & more

[Labonte18]

Ok.. Ok.. I should have known better about the Home Depot, but I swear I thought there was a Best Buy in Greenwood. I thought it was out by the IHOP. Maybe all the blue out there just confused me.

Wine tends to be more a North Carolina thing. Though, there are a few wineries. In fact, there's one off 25 around Pelzer, IIRC, somewhere around Hwy 418?

In fact, I seem to recall something recently in the news that someone was trying to change the laws to open a 'wine tasting' place in charleston or somewhere.. I don't remember all the details on this.

CityScape is the winery i'm thinking of.. https://cityscapewinery.com/



As for any 'dry' places. I presume that's in relation to alcohol, and no. There are no dry counties, at least not that I'm aware of. However.. I believe there are still some counties that don't allow Sunday sales.. and, no liquor/wine stores are going to be open on Sundays, or past 7pm. Or on election day.

that goes over most of the laws.. You're not buying liquor other than at a liquor store.. And you're not buying beer at a liquor store.. The laws on alcohol are a bit.. Antiquated. Green's, a liquor store here in Greenville, and a large one, has a dividing line down the middle. One side is Beer/Wine the other side is liquor. Two different entrances. You can't go to the same register with beer and wine, as I recall (Been a while since I've been there)



You have to remember, we're only ~20 years past the minibottle law. https://wineandwhiskeyglobe.com/****...outh-carolina/




Are you freaking serious? Cocktails is blocked? lol.. Ok.. Well, the link still works.


Now, the above article.. I don't think that's entirely fair about the restaurants. Here in Greenville and in Charleston, there are some fantastic restaurants.

Then you need to factor in time it takes for ambulance to be dispatched, get to the pickup location and get the person loaded up.

You are probably looking at least a hour.

I see.

SC is Van Halen country.

Others would be better informed than myself, but areas that dot the mountains have wineries, especially NE Georgia, which is reasonably close to McCormick; I believe that NC has some as well, in addition to a plethora of apple orchards.

As far as wanting an evening out, downtown Greenville should have everything you're looking for, and more. If your ideal would be to have an evening out once a week, I would keep McCormick on your shortlist. Moreover, I am sure that the community will sponsor a lot of events, as residents are like minded.

There's one other area I am going to throw out there, in addition to Aiken SC, I would take a hard look at Belmont NC.

"SC is Van Halen country."

Hey you just reminded me that David Allen, formerly with the Marshall Tucker Band out of Spartanburg is now a builder's rep with SK homes. Completely irrelevant, I know, but he was an interesting person to work with.

Yours was a cool anecdote worth sharing
