In Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits\, journalist Aaron Goldfarb goes on an adventure in vintage spirits. This is an intoxicating story of obsessives on the hunt for old bottles of whiskey\, tequila\, rum\, chartreuse— you name it—from estate sales\, grandpa’s liquor cabinet\, and out-of-the-way and inner-city liquor stores that may just have a case or a few bottles lying around in the basement. Dusty Booze mixes the history of our drinking culture and the Indiana Jones-meets-Simpsons Comic Book Guy adventures of the collectors\, including the hunt for rumored stash from a reclusive Hollywood legend. This is a buoyant\, thirst-triggering voyage into a unique subculture that has exploded in popularity in recent years. \n\nAaron Goldfarb has written 12 books\, including “Gather Around Cocktails: Drinks to Celebrate Usual and Unusual Holiday Drinks” and “Hacking Whiskey: Smoking\, Blending\, Fat-Washing\, and Other Whiskey Experiments.” In 2020\, he was honored as Cocktail & Spirits Writer of the Year at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards. In 2022\, he co-wrote “Brand Mysticism: Cultivate Creativity and Intoxicate Your Audience” with booze branding maven Steven Grasse of Hendrick’s Gin fame.

His Farewell Tour to America celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Independence of the United States and Lafayette’s central role in the American Revolution. About Dr. Iris De Rode\, PhD Today\, as we celebrate the 200th anniversary of this visit and anticipate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, Dr. Iris de Rode will present her research on Lafayette and the other Frenchmen who helped secure American independence. Dr. de Rode will share insights from her discovery of the papers of Lafayette’s uncle\, the Marquis de Chastellux. As Major General of the French forces during the American Revolutionary War\, he worked closely with Lafayette. She will explore their cooperation and how both men spread American ideals upon their return to France. Focusing on this dynamic duo will illuminate Lafayette’s role\, the enduring legacy of the Revolution\, and place Lafayette’s visit to Norwalk in a broader historical context.    URL:https://norwalkhistoricalsociety.org/event/lafayettes-triumphal-tour-celebrating-the-legacy-of-french-american-friendship-in-norwalk/ LOCATION:Mill Hill Historic Park\, 2 East Wall Street\, Norwalk\, CT\, 06851\, United States GEO:41.1176338;-73.409666 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mill Hill Historic Park 2 East Wall Street Norwalk CT 06851 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2 East Wall Street:geo:-73.409666,41.1176338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240825T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240825T160000 DTSTAMP:20260421T015559 CREATED:20240815T193129Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240815T200124Z UID:10001874-1724590800-1724601600@norwalkhistoricalsociety.org SUMMARY:Discover Mill Hill Historic Park DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 25 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAerial view of Mill Hill Historic Park\n\n\n\nFrom 1:00-4:00pm\, discover Mill Hill Historic Park.
