Pisco? Of course I've heard of it! Pisco Sour! NO!

Well, yes! But don't we want more than what everyone else already knows about? Aren't we more curious, more adventurous, more enthusiastic about what's in our glass? Don't we have unique palates and a genuine desire to explore?

The world of cocktails is broad; it's deep; it's profound! The fun of being a curious drinker is understanding your palate, your options, and the stories behind what's in your glass. With pisco, we have it all -- from terroir driven sipping to spirit-forward cocktails, pisco manages it all.

Why You Should Attend

  • Understand pisco's history, varietal differences, and where it fits in the Peru vs. Chile conversation

  • Discover why the grapes matter and what bottles to seek out right here in Washington State

  • Walk away a pisco convert -- ready to seek out the oldest spirit of the Americas that everyone loves but no one has heard of

PRESENTED BY

Adam L Weintraub

Founder
Museo del Pisco & Patrimonio Suyus Pisco

 

Adam L. Weintraub is the founder of the famed Museo del Pisco (three locations in Peru: Cuzco, Lima and Arequipa), sharing his obsession with the world for Peru’s distinguished national beverage of choice. His bars are a Tales of the Cocktail winner and serially-referenced watering holes dedicated to broadening pisco’s appeal beyond the confines of Peru. Adam is a Seattle-based photographer – but his placement in the world of pisco brought his research, writing and photography together to create Pisco Patrimonio, a book regarding the culture and legacy of his favorite spirit. This was awarded "World's Best" by Gourmand.

And now, finally, he’s jumped the shark to create his own damn brand of pisco, Patrimonio Suyus, again hoping to improve pisco’s prominence throughout the world. Bring it on. And for good measure, it was just awarded Double Gold, "Best of the Best" by the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
