Welcome to Drinking the World; my thoughts on fine libations, special spirits, and fabulous cocktails. My name is Jonathan M. Forester and I'm a food & beverage writer / consultant. Formerly partner in Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery from 2007-2009. I'm also in the process of starting up an artisanal, micro-batch distillery specializing in super premium spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskey, peach, pear, and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, and gin. The style will be American from the Gilded Age, the last 25 years of the 19th century.
I am going to add to this site as quickly as I can, but I am a bit pressed for time. I have around 200+ pieces already written to post here, as well as hundreds of cocktail recipes. As time permits I will add them to the archives.
If the post is dated prior to December 13, 2008, it was previously published at Slashfood.com / AOL.com.

It's just around the corner, that dizzying week in New Orleans focused on all things cocktail. Yes, that's right it's Tales of the Cocktail 2009. We'll be celebrating like lunatics from July 8th through the 12th in New Orleans and the Monteleone Hotel will be a seething mass of carousing cocktailians.
Almost three dozen cocktail writers, including myself, are blogging about the upcoming events and seminars. You can read all about it by following this link to Blogging Tales of the Cocktail 2009. Not only will we be writing about the sessions and events, but also everything else that happens. Late night parties, sumptuous meals, epic adventures, assorted mayhem, and some juicy gossip too. Some I will cover here, but to read, hear, see everything that's going on, tune into the Tales Blog. Stories, videos, live posts, you name it. It's sure to be a hot time in ole New Orleans next week! Where else do thousands of people get together to live, drink, eat, talk, make, and dream about cocktails for a whole week? Tales of the Cocktail!
