What makes a small local shop special? Sometimes it's something quirky. Remember when every bookstore had a cat? Well, we know one wine and spirits shop that shares its space with a frisky, flurtatious feline.
If you'd like to meet Sofia, stop into Bauer Wine & Spirits on Newbury Street, where this new kitten is establishing her territory and settling into a new home.
Miss Sophia, who reminds us of another star by the same name, spends some of her time near the wines of Italy pointing out the best-of-the-best from that region.
Faced with the unexpected presence of paparazzi in her home, she tried to play it cool.
But, I promised if she'd give me her prettiest pose, I wouldn't publish the photos of her chewing on the Christmas tree.
If you're looking for local beer, cider, wine, or spirits for your holiday table or as a holiday gift, check out this video with Howie Rubin, one of Sophia's co-workers at Bauer. He runs down a few of the many local beverage choices we have available from New England producers.
