It may be only April, but thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world are making plans to attend be in New Orleans from July 16-20 to attend the most important spirits and cocktails-related event of the year: Tales of the Cocktail.
Among those attending the dozens of sessions, celebrations and events at Tales will be around 30 people who are so dedicated and passionate about fine spirits and cocktails that they document their spirituous explorations on some of the most well-informed and widely read blogs in the culinary world. These bloggers range from professional bartenders to drink journalists to dedicated home mixologists, and hail from such disparate locations as Auckland, Seattle, Tulsa, Boston and London.
In the months to come, these bloggers will use this site to preview some of the many sessions and events that will take place in New Orleans this summer. In addition, guest bloggers will use this space to give a glimpse of the sessions, dinners and parties they have planned. In July, these bloggers will convene in New Orleans to enjoy all that Tales of the Cocktail has to offer. In between Sazeracs, they’ll document many of their experiences on this site for the enjoyment of everyone who likes a good drink. And this site isn’t just for regular bloggers: Tales veterans and participants are invited to share their own thoughts and experiences related to this remarkable event.

What a Great Idea.
Last year was my first time at Tales. It had to be the smoothest running large event I had ever been to.
If this is going to be your first time. Get ready to drink from a fire-hose of cocktail knowledge. On a personal note. I can’t wait to take a step to the right every 5 seconds during a conversation at the Carousel Bar with one of the many friends I made last year. ;-)
