Hello Sippers, Friends and Followers!

The latest WftA Podcast Episode is ready to download! In this show, we discuss Whiskey Advent Calendars and Summer Taste-off events with our guests Chris Schmierer and Ben Poelstra.

During the holidays, one can find many varieties of Advent Calendars, including those which feature whiskey. But, have you ever wanted to create your own, or test your nose and palate with blind tastings from samples poured by a group? In Whiskey Advents and Summer Taste Offs, we, along with our guests Ben and Chris, discuss how our local whiskey group’s first Whiskey Calendar came to be and how the annual event expanded into a Summer Taste Off.

Our group is about to embark on our second Blind Taste Off. If you’ve ever wondered how it’s done (or want to make Whiskey Advent Calendars yourself), this is the show for you. Click Whiskey Advents and Summer Taste Offs or tap the icon below now to listen in.
