Klaus meets Mr Bourdain

 

Le Bernadin, New York’s internationally acclaimed four star seafood restaurant, was the location for a luncheon to celebrate the American Craft Council, sponsored by Balvenie Scotch Whisky. You see Klaus, like American Crafts are a finite resource.

Klaus was asked to drink whiskey during the day! Or was it that fact that I was asked, and Klaus came with me? I’m not sure. But the opportunity arose to ask five questions that suddenly became four questions, yet Klaus, the soused gnome was so interested in lunch, he forgot the last one. But that’s another story for another day.

You see Klaus, like American Crafts are a finite resource. High end craft (not roadside crafts) is a fine art form. In many ways, Klaus is the same. He was handmade! Many years ago as well!

1800s!

At any rate, Klaus was thirsty for whiskey and day drinking is his favorite thing to do.. next to drinking everyone else’s drinks of course.

Klaus is lucky…

He got to meet Anthony Bourdain!

Five Questions with Allison Margolin, Criminal Defense and Cannabis Attorney

 Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
Heidi Gibbs

Allison Margolin

The Cannabis space has certainly changed on the West Coast of the United States in the past decade or so. With this change has come certain challenges. Legal ones come to mind immediately and with any sort of cannabis legalization, there needs to be talented and intellectual people to defend high profile cases against improper charges and institute change across the boundaries of what is correct, to what is right. Criminal defense attorneys are not just born, they are nurtured. And by the very basis of their craft, the craft of cannabis, there is more and more the need to develop strategies and intellectualism for more than just a street corner drug bust. That’s where Allison Margolin comes to the table. She operates in a very studious fashion and rightfully so. One does not become successful and a go/to in the cannabis world without being the very best!
