A bourbon-tasting party is the stuff of bourbon legends; people that love bourbon. While you and your friends can take as much bourbon as possible in a single sitting, it can lead to bourbon fatigue.
Limit the bourbon to five bottles and thereabout, and remember to keep your guest list small to make the bourbon selection easy. Also, remember that a bourbon-tasting session would not be a party if you don’t have the right glasses. If it’s a party, the glasses must be suitable for the occasion, and the venue must complement the importance of the event.
Comparison and Horizontal Tasting
One school of thought in comparison to bourbon tasting is to use at least 51% corn, with the remaining grains being malted wheat and flavoring grains (usually rye or wheat).
There are mash bills that use more than 70% corn, the other 30% is rye or wheat, and high rye bourbons with a high rye content. A standard mash bill may be wheated bourbons that use wheat in the place of rye, along with some barley and corn.
Usually, mix and match, starting with the wheated varieties, and moving on to something more standard. In most cases, high rye bourbons come last. Try to stick with bourbons from the same age group.
Horizontal tasting involves bourbons of similar age. This can be entry-level bourbons or something upscale of more than ten years.
Don’t Forget Distilled Water
Along with the bourbon bottles and glasses, a full pitcher of distilled water is essential to keep guests hydrated. Have an eye dropper or straw for the drops of whisky. Adding water to the whisky has the same effect as swirling a glass of wine to determine the taste and scent.
Villa Ragusa has the whisky glasses, bourbon glasses, amenities, and expertise needed to make the event a success. What are you waiting for? Start planning your bourbon-tasting get-together today at Villa Ragusa.

Hosting a wedding shower party is a great honor, but the pressure to arrange the ideal party may be overwhelming. You will deal with opposing personalities in the wedding party, arranging logistics, and trying to make everything perfect for the bride-to-be. And that can be stressful. However, understanding a few tips and methods may help you pull off a stress-free, fun-filled party.
Planning is Key to Success
Bridal showers are usually held one to three months before the wedding day. Consult with the bride-to-be about the best day and time for hosting the event. For convenience, she may also schedule additional pre-wedding events, such as the hair and makeup trial for bridesmaids or dress fitting, around the same timeframe.
If the bridal shower is not a surprise, you should enlist the help of the bride-to-be in making a guest list. It will typically involve the couple’s entire female relatives, girlfriends, bridesmaids, and maybe even neighbors and coworkers. Alternatively, the bride-to-be may decide to include the groom in the fun loop by hosting a ‘couple shower’.
However, note that no one should be invited to the bridal shower if they are not invited to the wedding.
Other Itineraries to Consider
Choosing a theme will help you organize your bridal shower and make other selections easier, such as selecting a venue and how to decorate it. Think about the leading lady’s personality: is she a connoisseur, a fashionista, a movie enthusiast, or a party animal? Building the bridal shower around her preferences will give it a personal touch, making the bride-to-be feel more special.
Choose a venue that best fits your theme or one that has some ‘built-in’ activities, such as a cake-decorating class, to save time brainstorming ideas on your own. Our event rooms at Villa Ragusa are spacious and equipped to accommodate over 650 guests, with an environment that will keep you and your guests relaxed.

Benjamin Franklin and Einstein have one thing in common. Well, yes, they were both intellectuals, but more importantly, they were chess enthusiasts. Of course, there is some camaraderie of common interests provided by chess and similar games, but they also come with benefits such as cognitive development.
Becoming a well-oiled machine in chess makes you smarter, and there is evidence to support this.
But whether you are a member of a chess club or you are into quilting bees or mahjong championships, finding the right space for club meetings is essential. Organize a banquet for the club meetings and achieve the following.
Sustain the Spirit of Sportsmanship
Unlike some years ago, where you needed a higher level of athleticism to be considered a real sportsman, games such as chess and mahjong have evolved the meaning. You can compete mentally as you attempt to come up with ways you can outmaneuver your opponent.
Every game is a chance to improve and an exciting prospect for all and sundry. You see, participants often shake hands and appreciate each other, whatever the outcome.
But an occasional banquet with club members goes a long way into maintaining a spirit of sportsmanship. You share a meal with other players you often face across the table.
Grow the Club
Stepping out on a limb and joining the world of mahjong comes out of a desire to learn and a need for community. Once in a while, hire an event space such as Villa Ragusa, share a meal and invite new members. When the club has more members, it grows to new heights, becomes more competitive, and grows as a source of excitement.
After the coronavirus restrictions, an in-person meeting for club members is long overdue. Contact Villa Ragusa to organize a banquet, and carry on from where you left off. You owe it to yourselves this much.
