CHUCK & WES' LIQUOR CABINET
Yes, it's true. We're insane cocktail geeks. And we love every minute of it.
In no particular order, this is what's in our bar ... and on the floor around our bar, and behind
the sofa, and behind the bookcase behind the sofa, and in the pantry (well, the bottom shelf of the food pantry, part of the top 2
shelves of the food pantry, and the separate liquor pantry, which used to be a broom closet and for which I need to build shelves so
that we can get the bottles off the floor and out from behind the sofa). Oh, and in the fridge. And in the other fridge
in the garage.
