Update --- I was at my local Total Wine earlier this week and was surprised to see their selection of bitters (and flavored simple syrups) had increased dramatically over the past month. I snapped photos of the whole section for my records the next time I'm looking for more bitters. I'm tired of mail ordering ALL the bitters I need. (Does anyone want me to post the pics here? The pics include prices as of 1/5)

Also, my local specialty bar "Grape And Grain Exchange" also stepped up their game and now also carries many of the bitters I have been mail ordering. I've been asking them to restock for about a year, and finally they were able to do it. As a small craft and high-end craft liquors business, I'm sure it's not fun for them to buy and stock a bunch of stuff which doesn't move very fast, so I 'm really thankful that they did. I bought a bottle of rum while I was there, so am trying to help the local business out.
