Holiday weekends can be tricky for me.
I love the unofficial start of summer, longer days that turn into nights with friends and family, and a cold drink at the pool or by the ocean. But mixed in with the fun and excitement sometimes come the what ifs, the missing out, the feelings of less than.
Those feelings are part of why I opened Wallace Dry Goods. Not to make them disappear (if you’ve figured out that secret, please share), but to put some tools on the shelf for navigating them. I’m all for choices in how and what you drink, but I also want to acknowledge that the choice isn’t always an easy one.
So whether you’re hosting this weekend and want every guest to feel taken care of, or you’re stocking your emotional support cooler, make sure it has what works for you in it.
A few things that might help: our fridge is full of beer and cider for any mix-six you want to build (10% off all weekend), and the shelves are stocked with spirits and aperitifs for the pitcher you’ve been meaning to make (10% off when paired with a mixer).
We’ll be pouring a different spirit-and-mixer pairing on the bar today through Sunday. Come say hi.
Cheers to choices, Robin
P.S. A version of this went to my email list this week. So many of you wrote back. Thank you, it meant more than I can say.
