The advisory board
What started as a humble idea from three bar owners five years ago has grown to be what we hope to be the best cocktail event on the West Coast, if not the country, today. Founders H. Joseph Ehrmann, Jeff Hollinger and Duggan McDonnell recognized the role that the San Francisco Bay Area has played in the culture of cocktails and this year set out to create a bigger, better and tastier event than ever before. For the first time since its creation, San Francisco Cocktail Week established an experienced Advisory Board to direct all aspects of the celebration. From event-planning to seminar creation to marketing, the following team of professionals, who are leaders in their field, have created the next generation of this amazing cocktilian celebration. Salud!
