Manhattan Cocktail Classic Seminar Series Preview
I’ve been exchanging emails for the past two weeks with Leslie Townsend, Founder and Director of New York’s inaugural multi-day celebration of the cocktail. Today I received the seminar schedule for their Fall Preview Seminar Series (this will preempt a May 2010 event). Each of the seminars is conducted by a member of the MCC’s advisory board which features several stars of the spirits world including Paul Pacult and Andy Seymour.
the seminars run the gamut—from congenial talks about about cocktail culture to intense discussions of the historical nuances of select spirits. This event looks fantastic and appears to have a great sense of humor. You can check out their website for more information—and stay tuned to Singlemalt TV as we’ll have an interview with Lesley coming soon.
Tickets for the seminars will go on sale September 7. The schedule goes a little something like this:

“Cocktails for Your Home Cocktail Party”
“The Agave Session: The Magical Elixirs of Mexico”
