With retail sales of alcohol for home consumption skyrocketing, and severe restrictions for pubs and restaurants due to the pandemic, many of us are enjoying upgrading our home bars.

Fun Fact: In 1838, Antoine Amédée Peychaud experimented with a mixture of brandy and bitters served...

Saks Fifth Avenue just launched a new website. Since more than 600 stores rely on Bridge Store to power their websites, I decided to compare the new site, which likely cost millions of dollars, to an indie retailer's Bridge Store software. An indie store pays pennies compared to Saks' millions, so the Saks site must be a million times better, right?
After a careful review, I'm happy to share that our indie stores have the better website. And, it sort of 'saks' for Saks that it spent millions ...

Perfect for formal and casual entertaining, these Moser shot glasses are the toast of the town in a variety of colors. The “ice bottom” pattern of a square-cut base, attributed to Rudolf Eschler and first produced in 1934, still raises the bar on elegant design with its rich proportions and striking, modern lines.
