19 years cigarette free.

I ran into one of the Buffalo Sabres in the elevator at the Prague hotel. They were in town to play the New Jersey Devils. He invited me to the game but I was performing that night.

Howie Rose bringing the chills! Unreal. #LGM

Bar world content creators, can we please stop using strainers and such to open bottles? Just use the bottle opener. It’s much safer and lessens the chance of glass shards in bottle.

Had the pleasure to see John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in the 80’s at the old Ritz. He was awesome and the show culminated with an appearance by Bluesbreakers alum and former Rolling Stone, Mick Taylor. They rocked a “Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” to boot. RIP Mr. Mayall.

Happy to have my two cents thrown in here.

Dr. Brown’s ‘Cel-Ray’ soda is a mere shell of its former self. Practically no celery flavor in its current iteration. Might be time for a craft brand to make it happen. Keep me posted. I’ll help in the development stages.

Wings of Desire is a masterpiece. Extra credit for 80’s Nick Cave.

Most umpires suck and are greasing the skids for the robots. Yankee Stadium is a band box. #mlb

A must read for every bartender and cocktail enthusiast alike.

Now, through her book,The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nice insightfully chronicles history’s most influential hostesses, firmly placing these extraordinary women in their rightful position at the forefront of the dawn of the cocktail tradition.”

“While the true story of the cocktail has never been limited to sepia-toned reels of burly, mustachioed men who were part-barman, part-showman, its history―largely written by such men―was. 2

It was an honor and privilege to contribute to Nicola Nice’s groundbreaking book and ongoing project which directs the deserving spotlight on the importance, and mostly unheralded, contribution of women to the development and history of the cocktail.

All in all, this is a must-own book for the engaged whisky enthusiast and working bar manager alike, and one that I will be referring to often. (End)

Readers will be generously rewarded with many surprises within, along with succinct tasting notes on both legacy and emerging brands. (ie. Lots of new ideas for your next visit to the liquor store). 3

Davin’s easy-going style informs in an inviting manner as he explains unique distilling and blending processes, tasting techniques and then seamlessly moving on to debunk long standing myths, correcting historical themes and generally puts things in order. 2

A new addition to the whisky book canon has arrived! Canadian whisky writer and heralded authority on the subject, Davin de Kergommeaux has updated his classic, “Canadian Whisky: The Essential Portable Expert” for a third edition.

Something should break for these @nyknicks Fate should get them the 2 seed. Oh, and @jalenbrunson1 is the true #mvp !

Congratulations all around!

Always cool to make it into the Difford's Guide! Also, a fitting recipe for this weather here on the East Coast... https://t.co/ChDYRurURu
