Three alabés (drummers) in brilliant red shirts and stark white pants are perched at the head of the room and belt out a rhythm on their tall, conga-style drums. They're calling the orixás (gods). In front of the alabés stands the babalorixá, the priest who leads the night. He begins chanting. He is answered by a chorus of women.

FWT Magazine Issue Three
by FWT Magazine
|
In this issue you will sample (judiciously, we hope) Chilean pisco; wine in its many forms, including sparkling and rosé; Kentucky bourbon whiskey; artisan sake; premium and craft gins; rum; and brandy (if you think brandy is just a way to make Coca-Cola taste better, think again). By the way, we also sample chocolate and coffee on this journey. And, if “still on your feet,” you will travel on this quest to Costa Rica, South Africa, Australia (has some of the oldest grapevines in the world) and its island state of Tasmania; in France: Champagne, Bordeaux, and Provence; to Austria, Switzerland, Nova Scotia, Sardinia, and Chile. And, in the USA: Louisiana, Breckenridge (not to ski this time), San Francisco, Central Coast of California, and Temecula. Enjoy the journey. I hope you like this issue, and please let us know what you think of our magazine.
