Cocktail culture isn't born, it's created. In the Bay Area, it's due to more than a decade of diligent work by many bartenders. Here are some of those who have helped get us where we are. It's no surprise if you've seen most of the names in our pages before; their contributions are all newsworthy.

Bar Stars: A dozen trendsetters who've shaken up the Bay Area cocktail scene
San Francisco Chronicle - 06.26.08
A Way With Whiskey
Philadelphia Inquirer - 01.03.08
Alberta Straub, an acclaimed San Francisco bartender who hosts the video podcast Cocktails on the Fly, says Walsh is "a world whiskey trendsetter" who has opened whiskey to women.
"The world of Scotch is intimidating," Straub says. "It's like an old boys' club where women aren't allowed. Just to order Scotch, just to pronounce it, can be daunting. Riannon trashes that whole idea."

Your great PERIOD.
The Apple TV files for the PSAde and Jamaice episodes are being updated this evening on iTunes. This should address the issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Even though what I've downloaded is the "AppleTV HD" version - the reason it won't play is because they encoded it at 29.97 fps. For 1280x720 HD the Apple TV will only play back at 24 fps. It's a trivial thing to adjust, so, hopefully, this is something that they'll fix sooner than later...
YOU ARE NO LONGER AT THE ORBIT ROOM??
just when i have graduated, and am coming back into town!! : (
I love the show! Top quality production values, great host that adds fun and interest to a concept that's been done before. I watch it on apple TV and my friends say "What channel does this come on?"
Keep em rolling! I did notice the last episode (PSAde) has problems syncing to my AppleTV. Says the format is not playable on this appleTV. Anyone else experiencing that?
