Update whats been up.

The 7th was real fun try presenting whisky to 250 people, their is only so much time you can manage to keep them listening, I have told most people I prefer to limit a tutored tasting to 50 people and rather go Whisky dinner for such large groups, that way you only need their attention for 20 minutes.
Ahhh well I still need to decide if I am too boring or if the crowds are just rude.
The 8th saw a nice group of people with a lot of new faces and boy were they lucky we featured some fantastic whisky they all seemed very keen and open minded.
I managed to go a whole week from the 13th to the 20th without presenting an event I finally caught up on some paperwork.
The 20th kicked off with me presenting the Van Gogh Vodka range to what turned out to be a very surprised and delighted crowd. My club met on the 22nd for part 2 and were rather pleased with being able to sample 2 whiskies that are not available in SA, it must be said they had a negative prejudice towards J&B Nox which I am afraid I could not change until they discovered Knockandoo that is.
A few were very pleased that I finally included a blended whisky(JW Blue Label) no I will not be featuring blends in the future. The reason I did it was The Royal Lochnagar did not arrive on time as such I selected what I thought was the next best thing.
The 23rd had me presenting to Beluga's Staff a full range of whisky including bourbon.

As of Monday the 27th I have been in Jozi I kicked off at Melrose Arch Wine sense with a Whisky and Sushi evening which must have been one of the toughest crowds I have ever presented to. Tuesday we gathered at the Wanderers Club with a great bunch of enthusiastic people thanks to Jeff Spiller. It turned out to be a brilliant tasting and was really well received.

Tonight I present at the Wanderers to The Rotary Club so I am sure it will be a lot of fun.
Tomorrow I am off to Pretoria to present to a Wine Club I will do my best not to have a go at their sour grapes I am sure we will have a blast though.

Then Friday Its back to the Mother City to celebrate my younger sons second birthday.

That's what I've been up to.Please do not be scared post a comment if you like but do consider yourself updated.
