From Dan,
Host of Bourbon & Brass
“My career began in classical music, moved to wine and restaurants, then to whiskey. I was an orchestral musician in New Orleans, and traveled around the US and Asia for 10 years before receiving my Sommelier certifications, moving to Kentucky and following the path to bourbon. The key skill I learned from my music career is the ability to balance unique voices into a final product that is far greater than the individual components.”
Bourbon Aficionados Dan Callaway & Susan Riegler, hosts of our 2024 & 2025 Bourbon and Brass events.
