So, less traffic, but more valuable leads.  <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen a number of clients and friends including Cyril Necker of byNecker&#8212;Girl liqueur; Eugen Schwarz from Oval Vodka; Dale Sklar of Wine and Spirit International.  with Hapsburg Absinthe and the European HQ of MHW and the U.S. Drinks Conference in London; George Rowley of La Fee Absinthe; Emmanuel Solinsky, Nancy Little and Veronica Lamb of Walders Liqueur fame, Marc Charles of DBI and James Steiner of Cutty Sark.  I also met with David Rose of The Drinks Business and Chris Boaz of Just-Drinks, both of whom are sponsoring the U.S. Drinks Conference.   And surprisingly had literall run into Dave DeBoer on the street at Canary Wharf on Monday.  Dave and I worked together at Heublein, and had a chance to catch up.  He left Conn. for the vineyards of California, and has been heading up international sales at Delicato Vineyards since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(l to r: Cyril Necker, Steve Raye, Eugen Schwartz)This was my first experience at the LIWF, and also the first time they\u2019ve separated the spirits booths from the wine show into a separate hall.
