Rumpundit Speaks, at sundry rumfests.
Thursday 8th October, 7:45 I’ll be speaking at the New York Rum Fest at Astor Place, details below.
8th ANNUAL NY RUMFEST
http://www.polishedpalate.com/events/rf/2009/NY/
THURSDAY EVENING OCTOBER 8
6:30-9:30PM
ASTOR CENTER is located in the impeccably restored landmark DeVinne Press Building located at 399 Lafayette Street (corner of E. 4 th) in the NoHo section of NYC. Directly above Astor Wines & Spirits is a facility unlike anything else in the City—or in the world, for that matter. Winemakers & wine drinkers, Michelin-starred chefs and masters of the Manhattan apartment kitchen; omnivores and herbivores; legendary authors and razor-sharp restaurant bloggers; politicians and pig farmers all assemble at Astor Center. It is more than just a place to take a wine, rum, tequila…class or watch a celebrity chef wield a blow-torch. It’s a forum for education, for exchanging ideas and, of course, for enjoying fine spirits.
I will also be speaking at Ian Burrell’s London Rumfest 24th and 25th October, www.rumfest.co.uk/ an event so important that last year I abandoned mother and new born son within two days to abandon it.
Coming soon, I will be making short Q&A videos on line for Kurt Krause at www.acorkabove.com.
I have more events coming up, and as I mentioned before, I now hold the world monopoly of the hardbacks of Rum: A Social & Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776, copies available, signed and custom dedicated for $25 P&P inc. Some smart rum companies have been bulk buying them for enlightening their clientele. Feel free to call for terms!
And any requests to speak considered with sympathetic, indeed spirited, interest.
