Bartending Elite Gathered For Diageo Reserve World Class Global Final – in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.  Of course they did – meet in Brazil that is.  Maybe they have the same motto as Vegas.  Whatever, we’ll have what their having.

It was an exhilarating week of glamorous events and thought-provoking luxury seminars, or so we are told.

Mixology luminaries joined an impressive line up of world class gurus where the Luxury Collection at the heart of every fine drinking experiece prevailed: Diageo Reserve luxury portfolio – KETEL ONE® vodka, CÎROC® vodka, TANQUERAY® No.TEN™ gin, TANQUERAY® gin, DON JULIO® tequila, ZACAPA® rum, JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™ Blended Scotch Whisky and JOHNNIE WALKER® BLUE LABEL™ Blended Scotch Whisky.

All created the most exceptional rituals, perfect serves and fine drinking experiences the industry has ever seen, so we are told.

So while Washingtonians were trying to survive 100 degrees heat wave, while Council-members tried to unseat Mayor Vincent Gray and UBER groupies brought down the UBER Amendment, here’s what you missed in Rio.  On the other hand, Marine biologists and veterinarians say the bodies of more than 500 penguins have washed up on beaches in southern Brazil over the past week, so maybe our problems are not so bad.  You decide.
