It’s a Top 10 holiday list so special that we’ll call it a Top 10, plus one.
Compiled by the mayor himself, Leonard Desiderio, it’s sure to bring lots of "Cheers!" to the households of Sea Isle City.
It should also end any indecision about what type of liquor, wine or sparkling wine would make that perfect holiday gift.
Without further ado, here it is, Lenny’s Top 10 (plus one) Bottles to Give for the Holidays. Let’s all eat, drink and be merry!

Should anyone question Desiderio’s credentials as a spirits expert, consider the fact that he has owned the Kix-McNutley’s nightclub and entertainment complex and the Kix Package Goods store in Sea Isle since 1983.
“During this festive time of year, there are many parties and get-togethers. So, it is important to have the right mixture of alcoholic beverages at those functions,” he said. “But it’s equally important to make sure that you drink in moderation, use extra caution and use a designated driver to make sure everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.”
The mayor presents all 11 bottles of liquor, wine and sparkling wine included in his holiday list.
