Everybody get a glass — it's time for the Journal's annual Best Of list. Our readers have once again voted on their favorite people, places, businesses, things to eat, drink and enjoy in our county. That includes everything from where to get the tastiest Bloody Mary to the finest midwife. This is our chance to toast the winners, as well as a couple of our favorite local characters. And like a good party, it turns out some of them are already pals, like the Best Musician, who happens to have a day job at the Best Bookstore. Who knew?

Here's to your besties, Humboldt. Maybe we'll see you at Saturday night's Best Of party at the Carson Block Building — if not, we'll raise a glass to absent friends. Cheers.
