You know alcohol has never been my thing. I may partake in a toast at a special occasion, but that's about it. If you enjoy a sip every now and then, it's all love. This blog post is for you. :-)
I regularly attend events sponsored by Wine & Spirits distributors and manufacturers because they are the best...hands down. No expensive is spared with the choice of venue, entertainment, food, and of course, there's an abundance of the featured beverage. They also attract local tastemakers - the influencers and trendsetters who others tend to watch and follow. Last, but not least, these events are FREE.
Campari America gets it. Last night, Campari partnered with The BOSS Network to sponsor a private Women & Whiskies event at the Hubbard Inn in Chicago. Approximately 30 women networked, enjoyed appetizers, and experienced their choice of Campari beverages. Randal Stewart, Campari's PR Manager, explained that she created this nationwide event to introduce women to whisky as it's considered a very masculine beverage. The BOSS partnership made sense since the membership attracts very driven & successful female entrepreneurs and professionals - not only in Chicago, but also across the US.
Cameka Smith, thanks for the invitation.
Below are some of the pix.
Enjoy!
