Woo!

How great is it when you don’t go to WhiskyFest and get, (birthday,) swag!

Wife treks all the way to Brooklyn to bring back Amaro and Whiskey. Friends give you home made liqueur and vermouth. And another friend you met through the Internet gives you a copy of one of Irwin Cobb’s books.

Plus, enjoying the company of these same family and friends at several of Northern California’s finer establishments.

Pretty sweet, really.
