Our roving bottle show reporter Bruce Schank is now a documentarian. Check out the first article in his new series, Legends of the Jar.

Bruce spent some time talking with long-time fruit jar collector Phil Alvarez. Phil regaled Bruce with stories of his many years collecting fruit jars, and gave Bruce a tour of his beautiful collection. The pix are many, and they are awesome! Even if you don't collect jars, you will love Phil's collecting stories. Thanks, Bruce, for a job well done.
