Hi, welcome to Ginerations, and to my inaugural post.
If you love gin, kind of like gin, think only your grandmother drinks gin, or think gin tastes like Pine-Sol (for non-Americans, that’s a c
leansing product that smells heavily of pine), you’ve come to the right place! Yep, all of you.
I have a deep, but relatively new passion for gin. I’m not an industry expert, just a cocktail enthusiast, but wow, am I enthusiastic about gin. London Dry, Old Tom, New American, Genever…the whole gin portfolio.
I’m going to talk with you about gin – the incredible history, the explosion of gins in recent years, the people who craft the gin, pour the gin – all of it. And, perhaps along the way, convince you that it’s pretty special indeed. That today’s gin is not your grandmother’s gin. And not the cheap stuff you drank in college. Well, frankly, that stuff is probably still around, but you’ve grown up, right?
I can’t wait to hear your comments, thoughts and suggestions along the way. Thanks again for reading, and I can’t wait to get started. Cheers!
Jess, this is FANTASTIC!! Your writing is wonderful, and enthusiasm palpable. I can see the smile on your happy face as your fingers fly across the keyboard. I’m so thrilled you’ve found this new endeavor and that you’re so excited about it. Gin is lucky to have you 🙂
Glad to see the Gin blog has launched! I’ll look forward to hearing about the history of gin and possibly trying a few new gin cocktails with you next time we meet!!
Thanks, Sandy! Sounds like a great plan!
