small-business operation. Hope you like this dedication of ours to
representing large variety and products from all over the world. We want
everyone to feel comfortable when they enter our store, and to find some of
the spirits that they recognize from home.

WE SUPPORT LOCAL, WE SUPPORT small businesses : we stand and work together
here and it works. For those of you that have come to know us you know this
is how we work. We have nothing against the bigger enterprises, but being
small we work more closely with the smaller companies and keep each other
gainfully employed in these very difficult times when the large companies
have their lawyers that announce in public meetings here that they are just
trying to be more for their customers. WELL, aren't we all?!? And when did
we stop respecting the boundaries of each of our business ventures and not
spill into the business of everyone else?!?
