International Cane Spirits Festival, The Ultimate In Groovy

| 0 Comments

Rum is delicious. Whether the rum comes from Martinique, Venezuela, Barbados or Tennessee, it's all delicious. I was again reminded of that very thing again this weekend past. Spirits authority Jack Robertiello and I were co-hosts of the 2nd annual International Cane Spirit Festival held at the historic Cuban Club in Ybor City, Florida. Eighty premium rums, rhums and cachaças were entered into the competitive blind tasting. While the highly publicized event was a smashing success, what's most important to keep in mind is that Jack and I had an absolutely grand time.
