Its clear this guy is "passionate" about his product. What a gift. Great to see.
Van Gogh is alive and distilling absinthe on the east coast? And was that a green oompah loompah disappearing behind a barrel? Yet another great obsessives, the close-ups of things like the absinthe fountain are really effective. Eleven out of ten green fairies!
There is a NYC restaurant called Pigalle nears Times square, which is the first place I had Absinthe....if you are ever there try the "la fee verte" (the green fairy) It is so good, I forgot that I hated all the flavors it was comprised of! Drool.....
We're serving Lance's Hot-Spiced Pear drink @ New Year's Eve. We just loved it during tastings.
Gotta give props to Lance!
