Stocking Your Home Bar
Michael has the following recommendations for stocking your home bar:
- Napa Valley's Charbay flavored vodkas
- King Eider, California premium dry vodka
- Compari, tequila and whiskey
- Don't forget about the snacks, either: try crostini, Tuscan artichoke spread, Spanish almonds and a variety of olives.
