A Whiskey Affair 2016 11/10/16

12/28/2016

     This year's A Whiskey Affair seemed slightly smaller in both attendance and vendors. That made for more room to taste and eat. The temperature was perfect. My tweed jacket was not stifling and we did not have to huddle around heaters. 
      My wife accompanied me this year. With Todd, we were three. Got our picture in Jacksonville Magazine again, too. Crazy people in kilts!
     Dick and Marti from Palm Ridge Reserve were also there. It's always nice to see them. I am sure they were happy to not see me in my Richard Simmons costume from our pre-Holloween visit.

              Definitely one to pour over ice or mix with something. What’s in a name though, right?
