How lovely on a workday to have a virtual tasting with Hernan Parra, the Master Blender for Dictador rum, and Marc Larminaux the Creative Director of Lalique.
The new Dictador Generations En Lalique rum had been delivered in a sublime package just in time for the on-screen meeting, plus a lovely video.
I was prepared. Deep leather armchair, check, Zoom screen set up, check, Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos cigar, nope, gave those up decades ago, but it was a nice thought.
International eXcellence Magazine was privileged to be invited to attend the Silver Butterfly Ball at the Royal Institute of British Architects to raise money for the Sohana Research Fund. Sohana is a lovely 12 year old girl who was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa otherwise known as EB.
