Discouraged by the likelihood of non-regulars flooding the local wineries, Rhonda and I made a rez at the Blue Rascal in Hammonton for late afternoon cocktails.

We each had a rye Manhattan, proceeded by an old fashioned and a whisky sour. We brought our own provisions and stopped route at Baglianis for a restock. It was a short hop over to the Maplewood, so why not?
