NIGHTLIGHT: Our Mover and Shaker Kim Donaldson Successfully Hosts 2nd Annual Around the World in 80 Sips by Bottlenotes!!! Be Sure to Attend Next Year, this Event Gets Better With Age Like a Fine Wine!

We absolutely adored last year's event at 583 Park and this is our coverage:

If you know Peachy Deegan from Boston College, this is like grown-up Mod Golf but even better! Kim chatted with Peachy, and Kim said: "We were thrilled to have almost 700 young wine enthusiasts at the Around the World in 80 Sips tasting last night. We are looking forward to traveling to Miami, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver and New York for events in 2011."

Whom You Know was delighted to attend Bottlenotes Inc.'s 2nd annual Around the World in 80 Sips in New York. The inaugural event, which we had the pleasure of attending last year, was quite the spectacular affair for the wine aficionado. This year's event proved to be more of the same, perhaps on an even bigger scale, as attested to by the sheer number of attendees and the enthusiasm in the air. We all welcomed the opportunity to travel the world all in the course of one evening, albeit through the wonderful world of wine. While we didn't quite make it to a total of 80 sips through the evening (though we said last year that we'd make an attempt this year), we did get in an admirable number of tastings and throroughly enjoyed meeting the representatives from the various winemaking regions. A special thanks to Kim Donaldson and everyone at Bottlenotes for putting together another fabulous Around the World in 80 Sips, we're already looking forward to next year's event!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
