I recently returned from a wonderful trip to beautiful Kentucky for the ADI Craft Spirits Conference and Expo in Louisville. Global Package had a booth there, which was the first time we’d exhibited in more than a year and a half. What a joy it was to get back to meeting old and new friends at this event!           

            Kentucky is gorgeous this time of year (see photos): lush greenery, blue skies, historic buildings, and wonderful people. And there’s so much to see: The Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, Churchill Downs/Kentucky Derby Museum, not to mention all the local distilleries and craft breweries. There are even many wineries!

            While we think of California when it comes to wine, Kentucky has a good selection of vineyards and wineries, too, including the popular Purple Toad Cedar Creek, and Forest Edge wineries. Here’s a list of others, most with tasting rooms: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g28938-Activities-c36-t132-Kentucky.html.

            These conferences are always interesting and educational, offering everyone a chance to learn about the local culture and historical relevance of these states and regions in America.

            I am so looking forward to renewing old friendships in person at our own upcoming regional shows: the WIN Expo on December 2^nd in Santa Rosa and, of course, the 2022 Unified Wine & Grape Symposium/Trade Show on January 26 & 27 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center. I’ll be sending more information regarding the shows and our Booth #s, so stay tuned.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
