Music City Spirits and Cocktail Festival ~ a giveaway!
A couple of weeks ago I told you about an event I’m really excited for, the Music City Spirits and Cocktail Festival happening May 7th – 11th. Hopefully by now you’ve had a chance to visit their website and really dig into the schedule, choosing a session or two to attend. Me? I’m going to try to make it to as many as possible!
One of the first on my list is Mini Beers with Licor 43, because (a) mini beers just sounds cute and (b) Licor 43’s tagline is “the Spanish Smooth Sensation” and (c) the event is being held at The Treehouse. How can I not love all of that? Seriously, there is a little more to it than that –I’m fascinated with this “mini beer” concept since I’d never heard of it before. An after dinner drink made up of orange liquor and heavy cream, it sounds like something that’s right up my alley.
Then there is Bourbon and Bluegrass in Thompson Station. Uh, duh. No brainer.
Imbibe’s 2012 Bartender of the Year will be doing a session on Mezcal, a beverage I’ve enjoyed on occasion but really know nothing about. Gonna change that!
The Jack Daniels Experience will be my first chance to see the brand new POP space in East Nashville, and the Grand Tasting Gala will be a chance to taste every single beverage brand that is participating in the multi-day series of events. I would say that’s definitely a very grand tasting.
Now for some really great news for you~the organizers of the festival have given me a pair of tickets to give away for the Grand Tasting Gala! Held on Saturday night, May 7th, a single ticket to this event is $100, so you’re looking at a $200 value for this prize. Not too shabby!
To enter, all you have to do is this:

The wine cocktail one sounds right up my ally!
I would love to go to any session!!
Also shared this link on twitter :)
I’d love to go to David Wondrich’s session above anything. His books about alcohol are extremely enjoyable reads (Imbibe! and Punch!). If I had the time to go to many sessions the top of my list would be the Mezcal session for the same reason that I don’t know much about it, Bourbon & Bluegrass because yes duh, and of course the Grand Tasting.
I’ve also liked the Facebook page.
The 5 Iconic American Cocktails and the Jack Daniel’s Experience sound like two I would really enjoy!
Tweet tweet!

Bourbon and Bluegrass sounds great!
Wine cocktails and the Grand tasting Gala sound great to me. But honestly, I would go to them all if I could!
I liked them on Facebook!
It’s difficult to choose, but I’d say Wine Cocktails – best of both worlds! Though 5 Iconic American Cocktails would be a close second.
I am most looking forward to the Tequila Party, or the Grand Tasting Gala (that’s a no brainer!) All of the events look amazing!

The grand gala tasting with all the weeks options being there is the one I WANT most!!!!!! I tried finding a partner in crime but failed. If $$$$$ weren’t a notion the tequila party, wine cocktails, and jack’s experience would be on my calendar. What a great giveaway!
I already like the fabulousness on FB (as soon as I saw it on groupon).
I would love to attend the Germain-Robin Brandy seminar! After being exposed to brandy on a different level from Grays Pharmacy in Franklin, TN I am hooked! Aside from if time & money were no issue, there are many events I would love to attend, The tequila party by El Jimador & Herradurra, Wine Cocktails with Bolla Prosecco and Banfi Rosa Regale and Bourbon & Bluegrass by Woodford Reserve & Old Forester to name a few! The Grand Tasting Gala would be the icing on the cake as you get to experience it all!

I always enjoy learning more about Scotch.. The Master class sounds really cool!
I think the Grand Tasting Gala would be wonderful
Oh wow! In looking at the website, how do you choose just one? Tequila Party!
I choose Marquis de Montesquiou Armagnac Seminar – because I have no clue what it means :)
Followed on Facebook
I like them on FB and I left the tweet. For events, I think they all look great. My favorites would have to be the bourbon and bluegrass, jack daniels experience, Tequila event, and wine cocktail event. Thanks for the opportunity!!!
I want to go to the Del Maguey seminar. I think Mezcal is the most underrated spirit out there. I LOVE the smokey flavor! Of course, if money were no object, I’d be going to all of the seminars!
