The most popular of 2017 - so far!

We are halfway through 2017, and I thought I would stop for a moment and take stock. I realize I never did a review of 2016, so I will try to make amends by doing a few extra summaries in 2017. Yay!

Top 3 popular articles 1st half of 2017

1. Visiting Chichibu Distillery

2. Myken Destilleri - mer norsk whisky (article in Norwegian)

3. Vinmonopolet må ta nettkundene på alvor (article in Norwegian)

No big surprises here, perhaps. My article on visiting Chichibu will forever be up there it seems. It has now been almost three years since I wrote that article!
