Everyone has a chance to meet and talk with some
of their
heroes at an affair like this. One of mine is Truman Cox of
A.Smith Bowman, the Virginia distillery responsible for
Virginia Gentleman. In addition to this party, I will get to
visit with him for hours on the bus tour tomorrow

This is (was?) the notorious misappropriated bottle of

Many of the distillers here have never
physically met. They know one another
only by reputation and online website postings. What a great opportunity
to meet and share a good time with folks in a new industry that you are
(or at least would like to be) a part of.
