Happy World Class Birthday Salvatore!
Sunday, July 8th, 2012
The Luverly Eliana Martins Pessanha, aka Miss Rio, took us on a tour of cachaca bars yesterday to help celebrate Salvatore Calabrese’s birthday.
It was a World Class Bar Crawl!
We Started out at the Acadamia da Cachaca
Dennis Tamse, gaz, Peter Dorelli, Salvatore Calabrese, DaLe DeGroff, Ueno-San, and Bob Nolet of Ketel One
After tasting, oh, about 27 different Cachacas (they have over 100 bottlings there, and many of them are just sublime spirits), we toddled off to Astor
Where we met Carlos, a simply splendid bartender!
And a Trio of Girls from Ipenina!
And Salvatore gave Dale sone Serious Words of Wisdom
Happy Birthday, Salvatore!

World Class Rio, 2012 July 7: Christ the Redeemer
Saturday, July 7th, 2012
No trip to Rio is complete without a visit to see Christ the Redeemer Statue, right?
The sight of this brought tears to my eyes, just like my first glimpse of the Taj Mahal during last year’s World Class event.
Here’s the gang I was hanging with
Dennis Tamse, Spike Marchant, Dale DeGroff, Tim Judge, Ueno-San, and Bob Nolet
Truly a World Class Crew, right?
All in All it was Certainly a World Class Day
Thanks Diageo!

G’Vine Gin Bartender Program, 2012, June 16
Friday, June 15th, 2012
The fabulous folk at G”vine are working me so darned hard I’ve hardly time to post this, so please excuse lack of commentary–I’ll just fill this page with pictures of the goings-on here in Cognac. Last night I had to swim, thoroughly showing up Philip Duff in the brawn deprtment, and then they made me dance, sing, and drink lots of fabulous G’Vine gin. ‘Tis a hard road I travel . . .
George and I swapped jackets (I got the better deal, but please don’t tell him)
Ms. Franky Marshall was very tolerant
Sebastien is my new German friend (and his Tattoos are pretty awesome)
At this point my software had a meltdown, and I’ve no time to sort it out since I’m booked to dance at the G’Vine Summer Ball tonight, and I’m going crazy trying to find someone to do my makeup. Hope you understand.
