Aspen, Aspen, and more Aspen==liver replacment

Seriously, what are all these folks doing in Aspen? Every single liqour company, every single wine company positioning themselves to hump the legs of every Chain Account Buyer in the country. And yes, they were all there too. Parties after parties, some on top of each other, all involving "Sampling" ( one MUST! ) some high end: Remy Martin having their party to Louis Vutton (Know a buyer NOT going to that one?) some of them on decks, some white water rafting, and people actually skied. Yes, it was cold in Aspen. Companies were over the top spending: Skyy must of spent over $200,000 on events. Heineken hosted a 70's party that was the talk of the weekend. Hysterical. Great Band from L.A. that played everything from KC and the Sunshine band to Earth, Wind and Fire. Speaking of those "Elements' Zodiac (you know by now my favorite) had people lurking all over the damn place. Southern Wine and Spirits had a house they rented that must of been worth millions. Right on the flowing river, it was quite a site to see. Oh yea, the Tents. Well there were there, but not a ton of people went into them, the action was outside the tents and well into the late evenings. Aspen, you never fail to amaze me.

Aspen Food and Wine--this week

My oh my, drinking at this altitude it rough, but someone has to do it. Here we go again!! The annual extravaganza starts tomorrow (Thursday) and continues thru the weekend. It's just ridiculous how many people converge in this stunning town for debacuhery at it's finest. All the giant wine maker are there, but those Vodka people will NOT be outdone! Parties take place in every bar with major sponsors like: Grey Goose (Ugh), Kettle, Zodiac, and Three Olives taking over places and trying to out do each other for the attention of key buyers and consumers. Look for me to post while I'm there, this should be a riot!
