Hi all,
My name is Corey Bunnewith and for those of you who have not met me, I am the resident mixologist at KJ Baaron’s, the premier supplier for beer, wine, booze, books and tools in Massachusetts. I’d like to take this first entry on this blog to explain a few things: my objectives, KJ’s objectives, visions, missions, cultural views, etc. A short disclaimer… I do not have a formal training via an institute of higher learning when it comes to English and the practice of writing.
First and foremost my goal is to build relationships with consumers and products, consumers and KJ Baaron’s, and consumers and myself. Now like anything in life I feel that a good relationship is based upon a few key notes: Communication, having an open mind, challenging complacency, and a little bit of love. Now of course all of these items need to be adhered to from both my end and yours or I can warn you right now… we will never get anywhere. I’m here to listen to your needs as consumers as well as have the foresight an experience to see potential needs based on professional experience in the industry. I’m here to challenge complacency when it comes to the quality and value of products and you are here to question my judgment. And at the end of the day it all comes down to love. I love what I do and by you entering our doors or opening a line of communication with me I can tell that you love or at least care when it comes to craft, product, tradition and the value of something that you are going to consume.
I taste, think, mix, shake, stir, strain, and serve. I talk and I listen. I’m here to educate and to engage and to embrace. I’m here to develop a vision and to raise standards. Welcome to my piece of space that I will be sharing views, knowledge, philosophy, ideas, and recipes. I hope you enjoy and I hope to see you all at KJ’s soon.
Cheers,
Corey
