I am physically unable to sum up my TOTC experience without first thanking the people that made that experience possible.First off, Guillaume, Manuella, and the whole Pierre Ferrand/Citadelle Family. Thank you for a wonderful dinner, and without you, this experience would not be possible. I am looking forward to seeing New York and would love to continue to learn about your terrific products. I hope you guys enjoyed the cocktails, as much as I enjoyed promoting your brand. How did I get lucky enough to be able to mix with such great products. I'm looking forward to working with you in the future.
Next, Christian, Matt, and Ryan at House Spirits. You guys have been so supportive of me over the last 4 years, and I cannot wait to return the favor.
Nate and Jeff at Clyde Common. Thank for helping a brother out along the way, and covering my shifts while I was gone. Now it's time to get my ars back to work!!!Finally, Thank you Beverage Media Group for recognizing my hard work, and doing your homework. It's been a great pleasure to be recognized with such a wonderful group of mixoligists.
Neil - YOU were a pleasure to work with and your cocktails -- all of them! -- were sublime and delicious. Thank you for your hard work, for months before as well as on-the-ground in NOLA. Wishing you the best rest of summer and look forward to working with you again. When I get myself out to Portland I'm going to hunt you down, belly up to the bar and enjoy some Kopplin creations. Thank you! Manuela
