Harvey’s Bristol Creme Sherry
“Sherry, Niles?” “Why yes, Frasier.” Sherry is one of those under-explored after dinner drinks. Harvey’s Bristol Creme sherry is quite a treat, and it is mentioned in the television show.

Movie Classics: The Birds
One of the movies that really was memorable for me as a kid was Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds. This film, set in a small Northern Californian coastal town, scared me. I attribute my dislike of large groups of birds to this film. It’s brilliant the way the movie sneaks up on you. Unlike …
