Last week we went to a ‘Bourbon Share’ event. Lots of like minded people, sharing dinner and their collection hobby. The group is comprised of a wide variety of folks from lots of different walks of life.
It’s not a drinking party. It’s a sip and share event. There can be as many as 100 plus bottles there. But these collectors aren’t interested in emptying the bottles. They are there to share the experience. Most bring their own tiny glen-cairn glass, and literally they only sip from the ounce they pour.
They share bottles, wisdom and stories. They eat from a wide variety of great food and they mingle with everyone who attends.
I have to say, it is really a great adult event.
I am not a bourbon drinker but I do enjoy attending. The ratio of women to men is small, but it’s still a nice mix. Lots of different career paths and lifestyles. It’s respectful and lighthearted.
Last weeks event gave me the opportunity to meet Cookie. She isn’t a bourbon drinker either, but I was delighted to see that she also brought her crocheting project with her.
So as the ladies watched the bourbon connoisseur shared their passion and wisdom, we shared current projects, needlework techniques and great conversation.
It was a very nice evening.
