Cool story, brah.
In all seriousness, It is rather nice that you can get jacked on Sundays now in Georgia.

Meh, Louisiana is probably +90% Christian and it has the most liberal liquor laws in the nation. You can purchase cocktails at drive-through windows:

lol, and I thought the fact that the State owned Liquor stores in NH were bad enough. Many are actually their own rest stops on the major highways.

Blue Laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laws

Technically, in Mass stores can't sell booze on Sunday either, but border communities like mine are exempt to protect tax revenue.

Incorrect. The laws have changed over the last couple of years. Beer and liquor can be sold on Sunday after noon time in all of MA.

I bought a bottle of Jim Bean and that German liquor that tastes like NyQuil today in MA. Burlington considered a border region? They must be really lax on what they consider border communities.

He's misinformed.

Nope nothing.

Anyone know how similar a Shiraz is to a merlot or a malbec?

Depends on what quality of shiraz it is. Shiraz/syrah are typically quite a bit heavier bodied than merlot and malbec, which to me are typically thin and too fruit forward.

You'll also get cheap australian or south american shiraz that is very fruit forward, heavy alcohol content, and pretty tasteless, so they'd compare well with merlot.
 
2 Questions:

1) Shiraz is a strong spirit in America?!
2) Why do you have to drive to a different state to buy alcohol?

Well since I've never tried it before I got a cheap bottle: Yellow Tail Reserve
 
You can buy beer, wine, and hard liquor in the supermarket here in CA... even on a Sunday. Hell, even Walmart sells vodka, it is overpriced though.
