The San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival is bringing
imbibers a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the world's most
sought-after bourbons with an exclusive Pappy Van Winkle tasting and bartending
seminar.


Those who attend will be privy to a rare and unique experience with a selection
of bourbons from the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. Spirit connoisseurs have
long held it up as one of the world's best, while limited production has
ensured that it is also one of the world's most sought after bourbons. The
tasting will include Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 year old, the #1
rated whiskey in the world with a 99 out of 100 rating from the World Spirits
Championship, Pappy's 23 year old bourbon, the Van Winkle Family Reserve, as
well as the Reserve Rye.



With a lineup that surely would have made ole' Pappy proud, the Van Winkle
tasting will also include a hands-on bartending seminar with two of Southern
California''s most respected barkeeps, Nathan Stanton and Anthony Schmidt.
Nationally recognized for their knowledge and expertise, these two gentlemen have
been at the helm of several of the city's most progressive cocktail
establishments including Craft & Commerce, Noble Experiment and El Dorado
Cocktail Lounge. Each guest will have the rare opportunity to stand behind the
bar while learning how to mix time-honored cocktails firsthand.



Just as the supply for Old Rip Van Winkle whiskeys are limited and small in
number, this tasting event is confined to a select group of attendees. Our
private, speakeasy-esque setting is only available for twenty of our closest
friends; the location of this evening is revealed to you once we receive your
RSVP. Reserve your place for this extraordinary event before time runs out.



"Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely
enough." Mark Twain
