Tomorrow, May 12, Wayne Curtis will be dropping in at the Mixoloseum Chat Room to spend some time, well, chatting. You may remember Wayne as the author of …and a bottle of rum (one of my all-time favorite books about my all-time favorite spirit), as well as his many features for The Atlantic and a [...]
