Recently I attended an evening of wine, whiskey, bourbon tasting. The Cooperstown Distillery hosted several cocktail vendors from all over the east coast as we set sailed on the Hudson River…in a rain storm. Don’t get me wrong, it took away none of the romance or allure, just the necessity of a good hair day.

Whole Foods was nice enough to offer a delicious sample of sundaes with hard biscotti like cookie paired with ice cream.
Suerte Tequila enchanted us with their fake tattoos. Spending the day with a Spanish Day of The Dead bunny on my arm-yes, please! Check that one off the to-do list.
The buffet had no lack of meat, pasta, and inspired carbs to get our stomach prepared for the many tastings of whiskey, bourbon, and other cocktail delights. I chose some tender beef alongside shredded BBQ chicken and pork buns.
My friend and I had a long chat with the brand ambassador Gavin Harris from The Cooperstown Distillery. While still toddlers in the distillery business, their whiskey had a nice smooth taste. You can pair a visit to their birthplace by visiting The Omegang Brewing Company also a Cooperstown native. If you find yourself craving an afternoon of booze and baseball history, you should pay them a visit!
I highly recommend this Village Voice cruise romp next holiday season. You may run into an ugly sweater party or two, but it will be worth it for the generous tastings and informative brand ambassadors
