I think one of my favorite sections was: "You kinda expect them (patrons) to do cartwheels," said Hammer, who last week served the first shot of the 55-year-old vintage to one of the St. Paul Hotel's frequent patrons, who shared it with a friend. The reaction was muted, Hammer said, but "they were pleased." (The patron, he added, is notoriously low-key.) I read the article in the paper over the weekend.
