Tales of the Cocktail 2008

Many months have passed since the good times were rolling over cocktails in festive New Orleans. So much has happened since then — I have been thinking about the terrific time I had there with so many friends, new and old.

To revisit the experience (or see it for the first time), grab a cocktail and look through my photos from Tales of the Cocktail 2008.
  • Go to the “EVENT” section
  • Click on "+ TALES OF THE COCKTAIL 2008" (5th event under the heading) to drop down the menu for specific sections of the Tales event
  • Click on any/all of the Tales sessions and parties that you’d like to see
There are even more photos in The BIT: New Orleans (Beverage Industry Trends) published in Tasting Panel Magazine.

I'd love to hear what you think.
Enjoy!
