Whiskies of Wonder

*update* I spoke with the event coordinator and she says that you can call the info line (888-748-2400) to try to get tickets at the last minute and that she'll have some available in SF. However, they'll be cash-only and jacked up in price. There are still a handful of tickets available over the phone currently. --- I'll be attending Whiskies of the World, the giant whisky tasting and education event on April 14th in San Francisco from 5:30 - 10PM at the Palace Hotel. Tickets are $115, but the question is, can you get them? On the Whiskies of the World website they say that there will be no tickets available at the event, but listening to the WhiskyCast podcast I heard the event organizer say that she was trying to have some available in San Francisco until the event starts (but not at the door). I've got an email in to the event organizer, and I'll let you know what I hear back. But since it's about a week from now and most people will have to get them in the mail, you had better order now if you're going. So by the way, is anyone else going? Oh P.S. If you haven't seen him before Woodiot Savant (I just made that up) John Glaser of Compass Box Whiskies will be speaking at Whiskies of the World, but you can also catch him (for free) at Elixir on April 12th. I don't know if he's speaking there or just hanging out (and pulling the raffle ticket for the free tix to Whiskies of the World), but this is a chance to see him. He's kind of a cult hero in the whisky world- as Steve Jobs is to the music industry, Glaser is to the whisky industry, rocking the establishment and making shiny new high-quality things.
