"Fernet-Branca is a dark, syrupy alcoholic drink similar to an amaro, with a flavour that's best described as being a cross between medicine, crushed plants and bitter mud."

Hope to see you there! Fernet Branca is da s*** and it's definitely something young Will should get introduced to.

For those flying in: We are staying at the W, rate is 99USD ^^

Eek is right. We used to work for a billionaire who thought this stuff was liquid gold - scored big points by producing some when he came to dinner. We sent the bottle home with him

.

I'd love to celebrate your birthday, Will, if I can find the undisclosed location.

I love the stuff and have been drinking it since the late 90s. I'm glad it's finally starting to catch on in the Bay Area. Soon the rest of the US will catch on.^^

Well, you're in good company! Is it available in the US now? I first heard of it when I called the billionaire's butler to find out what they liked to drink. Luckily husband was in London so I sent him out on a bottle run.
