Choose my top shelf
I don’t drink, but I have 66 bottles of booze I’ve bought over the past few years (mostly at Walmart). I keep them in an old Hoosier cabinet, and they’re for friends. I have them roughly organized so that the nicer ones (I think) are on the top shelf, big bottles on the bottom, and everything else in the middle. I have room for 15 bottles on the top shelf. I understand that in a really nice liquor collection that perhaps none of these would rate being on the top shelf. But… based on my current collection, what 15 bottles would you put on the top shelf? (Note: the Grey Goose would be top shelf but it’s too tall)
