I am sharing a short update on the Advent Calendar. I had some professional photos taken with the sample box (and fake snow!). They really help convey the scale of it. When someone sees it in person they immediately are taken aback. Wow! It’s so big! Even Dave of 33 Books who helped design the Tasting Journal was shocked when he saw the final product - and he was involved from the beginning! It makes me happy to hear those reactions because I spent so much time developing it. 
 

I have the Sake and the Tasting Journal ready to ship, so now just waiting on the custom die cut boxes to finish up. Then the hard work of filling all the boxes before sending. I hope to get the first batches out late October or early November. 

I appreciate those of you who've bought one already and especially those of you buying three! You're smart to get your holiday shopping done now. They will make great gifts. 

Here are the photos. I’m sending out press releases this week so order now before they sell out! 

You’ll notice a few changes on my website. I removed all the single bottles and am only selling cases until I make it through the holiday season. I did put up the first Hiyaoroshi. It’ll ship in early November. 

Also, Merch! Here's me showing it off this weekend in SF.
