  • A Virtual Cocktail Party — The Sparkling Ginger Daisy

    As I've mentioned before, I really do love Twitter.  Simply by using it, I have managed to meet so many new people this year, many in the world of (not shockingly) food and cocktails.  Although I have met many in person, there are some I've only interacted with virtually, at least so far.  One such
