Épisode 121

mardi 30 juillet 2024 • Durée 06:17

This is a special guest episode featuring B&B - Bénédictine & Brandy, courtesy of My Tiny Bottles hosted by Tammy Coxen.

She has hundreds of bottles waiting to be discovered, and with each she’s telling the story of them and then opening & tasting many of these vintage, collectible bottles! Later this year Tammy and I are planning to get together to taste some tiny bottles, but in the meantime, here’s the story of Benedictine as told through bottle #17 in her collection, B&B.

Enjoy this episode while I work on more of my regular content, including an episode on Bénédictine to follow shortly!
