i'm a big fan of Tullamore Dew and Basil Hayden
but you can't go wrong with Makers Mark or Woodford
Blanton's Single Barrel appears to be between $50-60 per bottle, so if you're looking to get your money's worth...

i will be there at noon 8/7/2010 10:21:27 AM |

it's because Koka is 100% non-smoking
looks like Richmond and Charlotte are the only two locations that have a cigar tent. I guess it depends on the venue. 8/7/2010 10:24:19 AM |

Last night was great, just the right amount of people and aside from the humidity, the weather was nice. Never waited more than a few seconds to get a drink. 8/7/2010 3:35:00 PM |

I didn't feel as bad this year after it was all over, but I did feel a little drunk for a longer period of time after it was over. btw, the funnel cake was good too. 8/8/2010 2:32:09 PM |
