Here are some of my favorite bottles. I have been collecting bottles most of my life. Soda and mineral waters are tops in my collection, but I'm starting to branch out to flasks and whiskeys. If anyone from California is headed to the National bottle show in Reno, let me know. It would be nice to network with some west coast collectors! See you at the show!
