      <image:caption>Shortly after receiving my bachelor's degree in sociology from San Francisco State University, I packed up and moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Chicago, Illinois. In Chicago, I began to look for a job. A local specialty roastery was searching for someone to pack bags of coffee. Satiating my need for constant motion, I applied, was hired, and the rest is history. Since then, coffee has become a major part of my life. My knowledge of the specialty coffee industry grew. I learned to taste, brew, evaluate, and eventually roast coffee. I’ve worked in roasteries, cafes, and green coffee sales. I even became a licensed Q Arabica Grader. Working in coffee has taken me all over the US, expanding my horizons while meeting wonderful people!</image:caption>

Families in the Polish nobility, known as Szlachta, often kept these recipes secret, and they were only given to the senior children upon the death of the father.

      <image:title>Masters - Old Hillside Bourbon - Courtney Tucker</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cofounder Courtney Tucker, aka "the sail," is a Durham native who enjoys the art of pairing cigars with bourbon. The four founders readily say that Old Hillside is an “ordained” company. Why do they believe this so strongly? Well, it began when others warned them against trying to sell their bourbon in North Carolina. Because it is a controlled state, others told them that their business would fail immediately. Instead, they got into stores and sold out, breaking multiple records. The luck continued in California, when the brand was accepted into Bevmo! And Total Wine and more in three months (on average, businesses usually wait seven years to get into the chain).</image:caption>

Blanco is a silky texture, with a slight heat, toasted agave, peppery yet smooth with a buttery and smoky finish. Reposado, aged for a minimum of 3 months in American oak pipon barrels, continues with the silky texture and a strong citrus zest, vanilla, and fresh herbs finish brings out strong agave notes and a pepper finish.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Started by Carlos Soto and Michael Arbanas and in the market by 2017, the idea of Nosotros was catalyzed by a college assignment, born from a passion for tequila. Our first expression, an unaged Blanco, put us on the map when it ultimately yielded “Best Tequila” at the world’s most respected spirits competition amongst many of the industry’s well-known brands.  We took our newfound credibility and funneled it into the craft-conscious California market. Originally without contacts in the liquor or dining industries, we’ve grown from a self-distributed underdog in uncharted territory to a climbing competitor on the ranks of cocktail menus and premium spirits lists in several states across the country.</image:caption>

And each Christmas,  using a secret Sicilian family recipe and a lot of love, he would make up a small batch of his famous hard espresso as a special gift.  If you were lucky enough to get one, you cherished that bottle as long as you could knowing it would be a whole year until you got a shot at another. Every bottle we make contains Mario's secret recipe...  handcrafted with the same love and care he put into every one of his. And just like my dad's original,  it's delicious... crazy delicious if I do say so myself.</image:caption>
