In Oregon you can find inventory for all liquor stores on the OLCC website. It makes it much easier to purchase those hard to find bottles. As to bottles shown in stock. You can call that store and have them hold them for yourself as well. First call first served.
The webisting is an easy way to find stock. Only issue has been some highly sought bottles show as available, but they won't sell them to you. They hold them for the bars.
