Still Brewing...
Julia and I helped our friend Matt brew a batch of beer a few weeks back. Now we have two five gallons kegs of home-brew. Which lead us to investing in a kegerator. And somehow we decided my office was the best place for the kegerator to live. All I need is a futon and it will be like my college dorm room.

We Have You Covered
Both stores are fully stocked with fun and fantastic gift giving ideas.
Bourbon- Our selection has never been so vast. Even some of the "ultra" rare selections have trickled in over the past few weeks and are all out on our shelves now, but they won't last long!
Beer- We have a great selection of hard to find craft brews along with
yummy limited holiday releases.
Wine- We always have great wines to taste everyday (12-8pm) in both stores.
Yesterday, Codey added two gems to the tasting machines in Ridgefield.
Amaro- "If you're like me your eating habits change this time of year. Great holiday fare is difficult to say no to. Everyone needs a bottle of amaro in there fridge. Just a sip after a big meal will help everything "settle" so that you can get a good night's rest." - Dr. Mitch

Fun Being Serious
This year we added a side by side tasting component to the evenings festivities. The purpose was to compare and contrast two similar but different wines...
Champagne: one made from white grapes, the other red.
Chablis: two iconic producer's interpretation of the same vintage.
Cali Pinot Noir: two producer's Pinot Noir from the same vintage and the same
vineyard site.

Never Fear... We Had Beer... and Tequila

Jackie showed off her micro sabering skills on this split of Champagne using a vintage cork screw... Impressive!
Reflections
This one happens to be my x-mas tree reflecting on my refrigerator at night.
Until next time.... be safe and drink well!
