The List of 30

Recently I was asked this question by someone.

What are the 30 products that you can't live without. Or the 30 products you would want to sell if you had your choice.

I've never been asked that before. Sure I've wasted many a moment dwelling on the wines and spirits that I love but I've never actually taken to my keyboard and compiled them into a list. So here it is. In no particular order.

Patricia Green Cellars Ana Vineyard Pinot Noir

Carpano Antica Vermouth Rouge

Corsair Artisan Distillery Gin

Casanova di Neri Rosso di Neri

Vilmart & Cie Brut Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvee

Cooper Mountain Vineyards Pinot Gris

I really put myself through the ringer on this one because I've had many fabulous spirits and wines that I truly adore. I'm sure that if I didn't force myself to stop editing the list I would never finish it.
