Any claims to fame? I won a small competition in Kelowna called Cleavers and Cocktails. It was a black box, and I brought blue cheese. Kind of mean. Other then that, I’ve had a lot of “good try”s. I hold those one especially close to my heart.

Red or White? Red.
Cointreau or Grand Marnier? Grand Marnier
London or Paris? Paris.
Glass or Tin? Tin all day. I’m not fit enough for this glass stuff.
