Cognac and Armagnac collection

[Jeff Grossman]

A bottle from the terms of each of the first 39 US presidents. Going to auction in April. Details here, big photo here.

That's a really weird rationale upon which to hang a collection. It's like his wife said "you got too many goddam bottles of booze cluttering up the joint!!!" and he thought quick and said "but snookums, they're representing the entire history of our glorious American politics and our unique system of checks and balances!!"

-Eden (is there a better way to remember history than to drink it?)

Joe always loved the story of Paul Day listening to the Moonlight Sonata while drinking a madeira from the year it was composed.

And then she made him sell them.

Usually works the other way, no?

And why did he stop with Carter?
