Hey Victor…Congrats and how exciting, best of luck! Auntie
Team Swerdlove!
Looks like we all love Victor up in here!
Victor was always my favorite child because he could mix Mommy’s favorite since he was 5.
Victor: When he pours, he reigns.
Go Vic!!!! We are all so proud of you!!!!! No matter what happens, you’re a winner to us. Now give us that baby!!!!!
LETS go VIC-tor!
LETS go VIC-tor!
I’m sure the other contenders are very nice, but GO VICTOR!
Victor can never ever make me a “concoction” ever again. The next thing I know I have grass in my mouth, underwear on my head and a fist full of dollar bills. I was so humiliated.
Good luck to whomever is on the receiving end of Vics mix.

I don’t even drink and I think Victor’s a real asset to Kansas City!
Good luck Victor – I want a sample when we see you! You will win it this year…
Hey! I don’t even know you people! But THANKS! I just had a baby two days ago, my brothers name is ramone, I have a favorite sister, and my girlfriends name is sarah……WTF!!!!! Coincidence!!! oh! I am a bartender named Victor and I am in the competition as well.
Vic, it’s not everyday you meet someone who shares your name and profession. I can’t wait to meet you, we’ll mix it up this weekend. By the way, if you should ever need a shift covered why don’t you look me up? It appears we may be difficult to tell apart. Can I count on you for the same? We should own this town! The other Vic.
P.S. Mazeltov on your new baby!
