Southern is the biggest, but there is another one called Premier Beverage. [link]http://www.premier-bev.com/Home.htm[/link] They are the company that distributes Lemon Hart in the Florida. After the disappointment at Wally's, I emailed them to try to find out what happened. Their customer service replied the next day, saying that although they sell a lot of Lemon Hart to bars and restaurants, they haven't sold any in package stores for over six months, according to their database. She suggested I try to have a local store order it for me, but provided no info on why the Wally's order didn't go through. This afternoon I headed over to a liquor store close to my office, and the owner managed to get in touch with her rep from Premier. He said that they are having problems importing it into the U.S. and they haven't had it for around 8 months (which explains why they hadn't sold any in stores), so apparently there's some sort of governmental snafu going on. The store owner is going to do a little asking around to see if any of her contacts happens to have a bottle or two, so we're back into a wait and see mode. In the meantime, it looks like if you want Lemon Hart, you'd better get it quick from out of state before the supply completely dries up. I wonder if it's still available in Canada?
