Toasties, sometimes you just have to eat and drink what your heart desires, and if that happens to be Montepulciano with stinky kimchee? So be it.

More to the point, what resolutions have you already broken? Who’s already over 2014? I am determined to make this the best year ever, but events are not complying. Thus, 2014 does not officially start for The Bartender until Feb. 1st. So tell me good things and let’s collectively wish Mallory health!

HEALTH, Mallory.
