Sharing Some Spirited Finds
I’ve been traveling so much that I haven’t had a chance to go through my inbox much lately and I’ve got some great stuff to pass along for wine and spirits lovers everywhere…
Michigan has decided to combine all their wine, spirit and beer happenings into one website. Drink Michigan is the place to get information on the beverages of the state, whether you are looking to find a winery, a distillery, a brewery or an event that showcases any of the above. Check them out now, or stay up to date by following them on Twitter or Facebook...
When I’m not traveling around sampling wine, I’m drinking gin and tonic. Tanqueray (No. 10, to be exact) is one of my favs. Now I won’t have any problems finding a drink wherever I am. The makers of Tanqueray Gin have teamed with Zagat to create the “Zagat T&T Finder.” This IPhone application can tell you the best restaurants and bars to locate the famed gin in 10 cities – Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, San Francisco and Tampa. Best of all, the app is free of charge...
If you haven’t made plans to attend the National Restaurant Association Show yet (and please, don’t be confused by the “NRA” signature, this has nothing to do with that other organization), here’s another reason to go: The 2011 International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event. The event will feature the Star of the Bar competition between mixologists as well as sessions about your favorite drinks (and samples, of course). It all happens at McCormick Place in Chicago and I’ll be there. The National Restaurant Association Show takes place May 21-24 with the Wine, Spirits & Beer Event down the hall the 22nd-23rd...
My trip to Punta Cana was especially great thanks to the wonderful food and spirits at Paradisus resorts. I just found out that they are going to duplicate the twosome effect by building two brand new hotels in Playa del Carman. The Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Esmeralda (for families) and Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Perla (for adults only) will open at the end of this year. Expect a beautiful landscape of swimming pools, bars and restaurants with butlers in Royal Service and swim-up suites (like the one in the picture) – all on a private bay at the edge of the Caribbean. A unique aspect to these resorts is that while they will be individual, they will share “El Zocalo,” a common area that has restaurants, bars, life-enriching activities and a YHI Spa. It looks like it will be spectacular -- check out the video.
