Packing and moving! We have been slowly shuttling Packing and moving! We have been slowly shuttling over boxes to our new house. The 250 plus bottles we have are kinda slowing things down haha.  Some of these bottles are hanging onto dear life so it's time to review and bottle kill!  Happy new year's!  #2021 #movingin #backtosf #sanfrancisco #rum #rhum #dramstagram #whisky #whiskey #scotch

It's a boy! Found out last week that we are having It's a boy! Found out last week that we are having a boy. I made a blue mocktail (blue-ness purely from food coloring and no fancy tricks like butterfly flower because I am lazy).  Whisky pictured is, unfortunately, alcoholic and therefore off-limits (although I have still been doing tastings by swishing and spitting).  Mocktail made with
