Join us for a virtual bourbon tasting!
We are so excited to offer this unique and special Virtual Bourbon Tasting event! Tim Knittel from Distilled Living will lead us through an interactive and information virtual Barrel Pick bourbon tasting. What makes this event so unique? Unlike other tastings that may feature 1-3 specific brands of bourbon, this tasting will focus on 3 blind bourbon sensory lab samples that have not yet become destined for any specific brand or expression. The samples will be anonymized from the distillery which produced them (not even Tim will know!), and participants will vote on which is the group favorite. This favorite will be specially bottled for VIPS and mailed directly to each participant after the event. Bottles of the other samples will be available for purchase as well, with a percentage of the cost being donated back to VIPS!
VIPS services help parents and caregivers
navigate the unknown.
"The touch of your hand over my hand has taught me strength and hope. When we were told our daughter Jaycee had a visual impairment, we were scared and unsure what to do. When we finally found out about VIPS, we made the tough decision to leave our friends and family in our small town in Minnesota. Through VIPS we've found another amazing family that has taught our daughter so many amazing things beyond our belief!"
-Dani, Mother of Jaycee
