To say that I am honored to be a finalist in the SAVEUR Blog Awards for Best Drinks Blog is pretty much the biggest understatement that has ever been understated. Because when I talk about it in real life, there is a lot of sputtering and joyful f-bombs. But I'm trying to stay profesh here. Which is hard because I am F#&@ING excited.

The fact that I am alongside the likes of Apartment Bartender and Arsenic Lace, and the rest of these amazing blogs is completely and utterly baffling. So a HUGE thank you to everybody who nominated me here!

Now the real voting begins--until September 6th, you can cast your vote in each category once a day by going here. Head on over to the voting page and take a look at all of the incredibly talented nominees and vote daily for your favorites. I'm not telling you you have to vote daily, but I am telling you that the chickens are going to judge you if you don't. Nobody needs that. Nobody.
