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, and formerly partner in a winery and brewery in Maine. Now, my new partner and I are currently in the process of starting an artisanal, farm distillery located on 370 acres in New York State called Dutch's Spirits. We will be specializing in premium, hand-made spirits. These will include bourbon, rye, and malt whiskey, peach and apple brandy, a variety of aged rum, gin, liqueurs, and cocktail bitters.

By Jonathan M. Forester on Oct 1, 2009 | In Uncategorized, Cocktail Revolution, Manhattan Cocktail Classic 2009
The Manhattan Cocktail Classic is having a two day preview this weekend at the Astor Center in NYC. Bringing cocktails in force to The Big Apple.
"The Manhattan Cocktail Classic, New York City’s first ever multi-day event celebrating the history, contemporary culture, and artful craft of the cocktail. Part festival, part fête, part conference, part cocktail party, the Manhattan Cocktail Classic brings together the unparalleled talents and opportunities of the bars, bartenders, and restaurants of our great city for two days of activities, both educational and celebratory in nature, championing the common ideals of authenticity, equality, sustainability, service, and pleasure. (There will be some drinking involved, too.)"
The line-up of events and seminars looks great, and the power hitters of the cocktails world have coordinated everything, so you know that this is going to become NYC's premier cocktail event.
