It was a thrill to interact with the book fans and provide them with insight into New York’s growing “Farm to Glass” movement,” states Heather Dolland, Founder of All the Tastes of New York and Author of Discovering the New York Craft Spirits Boom states. “I was a brand ambassador for a number of premium wine and spirit companies, for over eight years. After getting to know many of these Craft Distillers, I was inspired to tell their stories. The goal in this journey has always been to shine some light on lesser-known products and help them gain exposure, this book launch is first step in accomplishing that.”
