Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America
As I am getting ready to go off to WSWA in a couple of weeks, I wanted to update the cocktail calendar. Big news– Art of Cocktail in Canada has moved from October to April.
Also, LA gets another cocktail week as the LA Spirits Expo heads to Downtown Los Angeles on May 9-10. LA Spirits Expo differentiates itself from the recent industry event Golden State of Cocktails as LA Spirits Expo is open to everyone.
Events to keep an eye on- Rum Renaissance and the preview for Miami Cocktail Week and San Francisco Cocktail Week. SF was canceled last year so I hope they make a comeback this year.
