Let’s raise a glass to...these Library Whiskey glasses from Well Told Design!
What a delightful gift for the drinkers in your life who perhaps also like to read! A Christmas Carol is a safe bet this time of year, but Well Told Design offers a range of titles tailored to the lucky recipients’ taste, including Moby-Dick, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, more Dickens, Poe, and even a couple of Shakespeare’s plays.
I featured the Sherlock Holmes rocks glass here in a recent post, but I’ve also had thoughts of gifting myself with the glass commemorating The Count of Monte Cristo, the classic tale of slow-burn revenge, and one of my favorite stories. Detail bonus: each gorgeous glass (11 fluid ounces) features a quote from literature’s greatest works, such as this one from Monte Cristo:
“On February 24, 1815, the lookout at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the arrival of the three- master Pharaon, coming from Smyrna, Trieste and Naples. As usual, a coastal pilot immediately left the port, sailed hard by the Château d’If, and bordered the ship between Cap de Morgiou and the island of Riou.”
Now, doesn’t that make you thirst for adventure? Fill you with a sudden wanderlust, an indefinable hunger? Maybe you just need to eat something. Look below for another classic—a recipe for the Monte Cristo sandwich.
Cheers, everybody!
