It’s good to be back, and great to see everyone all together for this tastefully arranged event at the Marriott.

Noah Wu must have had something to do with organizing it, because everything is just right, including lots of space between the stands and a rich selection of ears at the back of the room.

It’s also good fun to taste surprisingly good new offerings from all over the world, even some sake and tequila and whisky I haven’t tried before.
