Interesting article, Allen. Thanks for the link. I've known John for years and I've had the pleasure of meeting Lew Bryson twice, but I don't know the other fellow mentioned - Paul Clarke. Do you know who he is, or for whom he writes?

I think he must be the same Paul Clarke who does the http://www.cocktailchronicles.com blog. I had seen the blog before but not caught his name. From the article counts it appears he is a big fan of both rum and rye.

Congrats John! It is a decent article about rye and the fact that they consulted you and other knowledgable people helped to make it so. Of course your website has made you a mainstream writer for almost a decade. Your website is one of the best I have seen even if I don't always agree with some of your conclusions!

So are you going to push for a Pennsylvania rye trail and maybe the rebirth of a rye distillery or two?
