Oh it was a time, folks!

There was a giant cocktail party that took over The New York Public Library; thirty-two educational seminars at Astor Center; dozens of intimate gatherings at some of New York’s greatest watering holes; cocktail pairing dinners; cocktail pairing lunches; a booze cruise; a bus tour; a garden party; a roof party; (actually there were three roof parties); and more fond (and slightly blurry) memories that this little website could ever possibly contain.

If you’re looking for photos to recapture the spirit (both puns intended), you can take a spin through these.  If you re-post anywhere, please be sure to credit as per the photographer indicated:

Philip Anema (Gala and all other events)

Eric Strauss (Gala only)

Nikola Tamindzic (Gala only)

Andrew Borden-Chisholm (Gala only)

Also, Lush Life Productions took some pretty kick-ass photos (surprise surprise), so while you can’t steal those for your own purposes, you can and should definitely take a spin through their lovely photos and videos.

And, while we’re on the subject of social media, if you haven’t already checked out our own Facebook Fan Page, you should.  We post fun things there.  Also, we’ve been promised a beer by a disbelieving friend if we can amass over 2500 fans (or friends or thumbs-uppers or likers or whatever the heck it’s called now).
