In the "Celebration of 150 Years" Brief Encounter from our October issue,
the photo was misattributed. It should have been credited to Richard
Carleton Hacker.
In October's Brief Encounters, we erroneously stated that Bacardi is the
largest privately-owned spirits company in the world. Bacardi is actu-
ally the largest privately-held, family-owned spirits company in the world.
In October's "In a League of Their Own," the bottle shot of the Wente
Vineyards 2013 Riva Ranch Chardonnay was the incorrect vintage.
In the Las Vegas Speed Tasting feature from our October
issue, the photo of Anthony Pullen, National Brand
Ambassador for Bols Genever, was incorrect.
