Hi. Chico here. I just wanted to announce my presence here, if nothing else.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My tastes may float comfortably in the same end of the pool as Vidiot\u2019s (gins & whiskies (& whiskys!) as starting points, fanning out to everything else from there), but he has most certainly refined them to a whole new level. I\u2019ll be reading this blog with as much interest as you to see where this goes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Insofar as I\u2019ll be contributing to Cocktailians<\/em>, it\u2019ll probably be on a much more basic level than my highly esteemed and most excellently educated colleague. I kind of suspect his (and, at least in equal measure, Mr. Taggart\u2019s) entries will tend toward what-to-do, while my contributions, such as they shall be, will tend more toward what-not<\/em>-to-do. Misadventures, horror stories, beer goggles, anything one might drink on a dare; these are a few of the things I feel comfortable experiencing for you. Hopefully, I’ll get some things right (or at least glom on to other people’s successes and good times), but frankly, I know which side of my bread has the proverbial butter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Starting in a couple of weeks, I\u2019ll once again be financially solvent enough to start actively participating in the greater culture of potables, at which point I look forward to getting my education back on. Until then, I\u2019ll be watching this space and taking notes. Just like you should.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi. Chico here.
