I went to Angel’s Share for a get-together. The Glenlivet Nàdurra, Lochside, GlenDronach Sherry Cask CS This time we’d asked the bar in advance and drank the whisky we’d brought along in a…
There had been talk since the start of the year that Lady M, the famous New York cake shop, was coming to Korea, and the boutique ended up opening before the Shinsegae department store counter did. It’s …
