Big Shots: The Men Behind the Booze

What a great read. Educational, humorus and really informative. Sometimes with the PR, you aren't always sure what's what, but Baime gives you all the good stuff. I ended up purchasing 5 copies for gifts for the holidays.

Interesting and Quirky!

You'll learn a lot from this collection of biographies about famous name-brand. I enjoyed reading the stories, but also there are some great drink recipes and know-how tips throughout.

You've Gotta Have It!

No self-respecting drinker's library should be without this book...I picked up one for a friend and wound up getting two more, one for myself and one for my boyfriend. If nothing else, it's great drunken convo material!

Great Gift!

I picked this book up as a stocking stuffer for my dad... and I ended up reading the whole thing myself! Very funny, very informative and a perfect gift for those who like a bit history, humor and especially spirits... I mean who doesn't??

What really goes on...

It seems there are really colorful characters behind the beginning of those liquors brands which sit on everybodies shelf. Nice to know what people are really like versus the image put forth by PR.
