The cabinet
What are you pouring tonight?
Thirty-one bottles from nine houses, kept the way a good bar keeps them: by what they are, not by what sells. Walk the room, or tell the bar what the evening is and it pours you a short list.

Ask the bar
Three questions. One short list.
The same way a good bartender reads the evening before reaching for a bottle. Your answers dim the shelves to the bottles that fit, and the room stays open around them.
