Kentucky Derby No-No's

Mark and Graham

 

Tonight is my Kentucky Derby Wine Tasting & Pairing. The Derby is tomorrow and my favorite horse is Journalism. I used this photo last year for a Derby post and it was so much fun, I thought I would do it again. Who can name the four mistakes in this mint julep photo?

The Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby is coming soon - Saturday May 7th. I love thoroughbred horse racing - I almost married someone who owned race horses and have been to lots of tracks both here and in Europe, but I always especially loved going to the Kentucky Derby. And I love a great mint julep. Can anyone spot a big no-no in the photo above?

Happy Derby Day

Time to get out my Jefferson cups today for the perfect Mint Julep.

Bourbon & Chinoiserie

Just got off the plane after a long birthday weekend in Kentucky doing the Bourbon Trail - thirteen distilleries and many bourbon bars and restaurants. I got a kick out of Bulleit's collection of Chinoiserie.
