The Restaurant Guys Charlotte Voisey, New Leader of Tales of the Cocktail Foundation
The Banter
The Guys talk about remarkable Italian wines that you should try including an alternative to the amazing, and pricey, Amarone.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys appreciate Charlotte Voisey, newly minted Executive Director of The Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, taking time to talk to them when Tales of the Cocktail Conference is merely days away. They go over the past, present and future of both Tales of the Cocktail and Charlotte and how the intersection created The Contemporary Cocktail Landscape, internationally!
The Inside Track
The Guys have been attending the Tales of the Cocktail Conference in New Orleans for years, crossing paths with Charlotte.
Francis: I remember the first time I met you. I was in a bar in New Orleans, I think, and you came in in full regalia at a Tales thing and you were carrying a croquet mallet and then you opened your mouth and a British accent spilled out. And I thought, wow, that girl's really going all the way with it.
Charlotte: That sounds about right.
