My glass is pretty easy to fill: craft beer, fine wine, strong coffee, and balanced Negronis. But that's only ever half the story.

The other half is where the memories live. Weekends exploring wineries, visiting tiny breweries, settling into cocktail bars, reading through curated wine lists, and discovering great coffee.

And of course, the secret sauce: the interesting, passionate, and often quirky people behind it all, the brewers, winemakers, baristas, bartenders, and sommeliers.
