Our sense that there is an anticipated eruption of excitement swelling has proven to be quite accurate.

The infamously wonderful Rotary Club of Tucson’s 17th Inaugural Whisky and Tequila event (DBA Desert Spirits) event is just 49 days away. 

Before you ask…. Yes – it’ll be so worth the wait - as per usual. as per always. as per expected.

You don’t want to be one of the few who miss this.  Accurate rumors are already flying that this will be our most fun, impressive extravaganza/lallapaloosa/production yet…..
