New York’s biggest cocktails, spirits and wine tasting is a little more than a month away. Tickets are selling fast, and anyone who attended last year (more than 1,600 people) can attest that this is one of the best parties of the fall.

In addition to learning about different spirits, sipping intoxicating cocktails and savoring red, white, rose and sparkling wines and Champagne, the Ultimate Blast guests will also get to meet their favorite spirits and wine writers at Book Signings that will take place all night long in the center of the floor.
