But don't let that scare you. Total Wine, especially, will surprise you with its vast non-wine inventory. Lots of hard-to-find rums and liquors. Crown stores vary by location but are very much above-average. Both of these stores are within walking distance of the Publix (F) and Winn-Dixie supermarkets (see above post). G) 67 Liquors and H) Inlet Liquor are also both worth a visit. They're in that same Cordova-17th Street nexus and are established local chains who may be more inclined to stock a few offbeat items that the major chains don't. A) and B) are your typical beachside package stores. Easily accessible, walking distance from the Mar and Cabana. Having never been to these outlets, I can't recommend either for all your room crawl needs but I'm sure they carry the basics. Until now, I was not aware that Angostura USA, the stateside distributor of Angostura Bitters, had an office just east of the 17th Street Causeway. Very interesting, perhaps worth a future visit, but not exactly relevant to this post. At least the shortage is apparently over: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/16/angostura-bitters-shortag_n_540219.html
