TISS THE SEASON! What will be in your stocking?

Another year almost gone. As we are reaching the end of 2005 we look back at what the year was.

Christmas and New Years are two major holidays in America. It is the time to give, reflect on the past year and look forward to all the wonderful surprises that are yet to come.

One nice surprise some of us had was down in Tampa during the ShowTenders world finals. They gave away allot of prize money and we all had a great time among friends. You can read the full review on our ‘Comp Reviews’ page.

From one surprise to the next. Cache Bouren takes us down memory lane and reminds us of all the fun that was had at Quest in the past years and reminds us their is more to competitions then just competing. Check it out on our ‘Articles’ page. Now that brings back memories!

Another present comes to us from Chris Cardone. It appears Chris had a moment of fame due to FHM magazine. It just shows you how big are sport is. In case you missed it you can check it on our ‘And Finally’ page. I swear I read it for the articles;-).

After a year and a half Mauro Garrido is on his way back to Argentina, But not before he gives us one more present and shows us an original two bottle and tin sequence on our ‘Masterclass’ page. Santa Claus would be proud.

Another stocking stuffer comes to us from BarWars L.L.C. . Looking for that perfect gift to give to that special someone you know who just loves to flip bottles? Or can’t find that certain something that will bring a smile to someone interested in Flair bartending? You can see what Pedro Morales thinks about the Summer Flair Bartender Competition DVD set on our ‘Reviews’ page.

Talk about a happy Flair bartender… Want to know more about the King of Flair for 2005? Rodrigo Delpech talks to us about his outstanding achievements this year, his brother and the FBA. All on our ‘Interviews’ page. No translation needed.

Also, the Vice President of the USBG (United States Bartenders Guild) Nevada Chapter, Bobby G., is ‘In The Mix’ as he shares with us some holiday cocktails and a little more history about Jerry “Professor” Thomas. One of the men that started it all.

We have the results of our ‘Reader Contest’ . Who do you think won? If you didn’t enter, I bet it wasn’t you!

All of this plus our regular features, ‘Cut Off’ by Toby Ellis, more ‘Barware’, more pages, and more Flair than you can shake some mistletoe at.

 

To Flair & Friends.
