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.

Blogging Tales of the Cocktail 2009
By Jonathan M. Forester on May 31, 2009 | In Cocktail Revolution, Tales of the Cocktail 2009
Well, we're getting close to that time of year, the wondrous week in New Orleans dedicated to all things cocktail. Yes, that's right, Tales of the Cocktail 2009 is just around the corner. From July 8th through the 12th New Orleans and the Monteleone Hotel will be flooded with cocktailians and mixologists, bartenders and cocktail aficionados, spirits reps and industry folks, as well as those scary people, the general public.
Ramping up for the festivities dozens of cocktails 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. Cheers!
