Photostory, October 2014

Last October and November were a busy, creative and exciting time. After all "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower" - Albert Camus

During this period we had great fun !

We fuelled ourselves on fine wines at the prestigious Cellier Wine Fair in Athens:

We built a stand in Berlin:

We made a cocktail list:

Even Ron (de) Jeremy came to our stand and we think he stole a mini Rakomelo:

On the way back we stopped in Milan. We tried a cocktail named Richard Nixon, a cocktail named 27th of June and a cocktail named Flight to Mexico all in Milan (!). No one can say Italians don't think of cool cocktail names 

 

27th of june is the date w/ #tequila #rootsmastiha #martinigranlusso #noillyprat #milano #navigli #finestroots #aperitivo #magcafe

Then we attended a Mezcal Masterclass (El Jolgorio & Nuestra Soledad) with Asís Cortes Hernández, member of the Mezcales de Cortes producing family and Thierry Richard at La Conserverie in Paris:

Before our very own Finest Roots Masterclass:

Where we also tried the 'El Greco' cocktail, featuring a greek flag(!) in Paris:

 We watched a show by a Greek Maestro:

 We got very busy:

But there is always time for a quick (non selfie) picture:

For the end we played cards with Nightjar's Marian Beke:
