Dear Carl,
Sincerest apologies for the first draft from our new
newsletter system. You saw that "first burnt batch
of brushetta" you'd never serve to your guests. Rest
assured we don't plan on deluging you with emails.
We want to make sure you get the best servings
of "Creative Entertainment" we have to offer.
Creative Entertainment is designed to give you party
tips, cocktail and hors d'oeuvre recipes, and product
introductions to help entertain with flare and style.
Please forward this newsletter to friends and
colleagues. We at Cocktail Hour want to hear your
party tips, recipes and suggestions for future topics,
so please email them to us.
Sincerely, Peter and Carl

Wine and cheese parties seem to be de rigueur for

move beyond cheese and crackers? Cheese fanatic
Michael Tuohy, chef at Woodfire Grill, has the
answers. With a cheese newsletter and monthly
cheese club, Tuohy is determined to spear the word
on fromage. Here are a few of his tips:

| Fall Cocktail and Hors d'oeuvre Recipes |

hearty goodies to eat.
I hope you enjoy the following recipes with your
friends and family.

| Sharpen Your Party Hosting Skills! |

The holidays are approaching, along with a plethora
of parties to attend and plan. Want your party to be
the one to stand out among the others? Attend one
of Cocktail-Hour's classes. Topics cover appetizers,
decor, bartending secrets, planning a theme and
much more!
Former class attendee, Jean Simpson says, "I loved
the class and the food and drinks were fantastic! It
was a great way to learn AND meet some wonderful
people."
Don't think for one minute that a Cocktail Hour class
has you sitting in a cold classroom, snoozing as Carl
lectures on the chemical composition of Vodka. No
Way! Come prepared to get involved, try your hand,
and sample. Cocktail Hour classes are much like a
party. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Notes from the Hosts: |
|
|
|
We are coming into the very busy season of our
lives. The holidays and the end of the year are the
times we show our friends, family, co-workers, and
customers our love and appreciation. Peter has made
it easier for you to buy on-line. Our "Gift Registry"
has been a huge success. After viewing the items
and picking the perfect gift, you have the convenient
choices of in-store pickup or shipping and soon we
will offer gift-wrapping.
Cocktail Hour offers many choices for corporate and
custom-designed gift baskets. We will incorporate
your company's image in every gift to represent you.
Our services include creating a customer gift
program, associate reward program, and expediting
delivery of gifts. Let us help you thank your
associates and customers for your successful year.
Holiday and end of the year parties are starting to
book. With time being tight, let Cocktail Hour
coordinate your party for you so you can
celebrate with your guests. We will negotiate with
caterers, entertainers, designers and staff to give
you the best price with the most style and flare, or
simply supply a knowledgably bartender. For more
information, please call me, Carl, at 404-846-4414 or
email me at carl@cocktail-hour.com.
November is our one-year anniversary and we are
planning a great celebration with several events that
will be announced in next month's newsletter. Please
forward this newsletter to your friends and family so
they too can be inspired to entertain at home.
