ProfNeel Update: It takes an anecdote to become an example that lingers on and the hospitality industry is the best place to share them. Storytelling is a powerful communicative methodology that teachers at IHMs only use when teaching the History of the Hotel Industry.

We just hit the full moon of the Metal Horse and we're on the wane now. Watch the laziness this month: metal horse at its worst can influence sloth and other bad habits.

😍First time on the print pages of IWSC - Club Oenologique and Lala Richards asked me to explore the phenomenon of spirits using (and adapting) Sherry's solera system. Fitting, as this issue was guest edited by Spanish food visionary Ferran Adria from el Bulli foundation.

Yet how it positively affects spirits is a looming question that isn't always easy to answer. #solera #Spain #Sherry #spiritswriting
