Hi.
I write a spirits column for The Record, the large daily newspaper in northern New Jersey. I’m currently working on a story about rye and am considering featuring Rittenhouse in the piece.
Would you be interested in helping me with it? If so, please contact me at the email I listed or give me a call at 646.912.1338. If there is a public relations company you work with and would prefer I talk to, please send me their contact information.
Thanks.
