The Whiskies of the World Expo Saturday, March 27, 2010 San Francisco

This is the 11th annual event of The Whiskies of the World Expo, which is a consumer tasting event, which takes place in San Francisco. It attracts over 1,500 ardent drink lovers, and presents hundreds of whiskies and spirits.

At WoW, you will have the opportunity to sample a wide range of Whiskies: from the biggest brand names to expressions from the world's greatest independent bottlers to some of the rarest bottles in the world. Whiskies from the US, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Japan. Maybe even a few that will surprise the most savvy connoisseur.

And WoW doesn't stop with Whiskies. American craft distilling is a growing luxury segment of the spirits industry. These artisans will offer samples of their handcrafted vodkas, gins, liqueurs and other varieties of distilled spirits.

The Hotel Nikko, well noted for its cuisine, will again provide guests with a bountiful assortment of food from hors d'ouerves and carving boards to seafood.
