Tracy Weiss had her first glass of Manischewitz at age 11. Additionally, his work with Purity Vodka as their national brand ambassador has garnered him even more respect and credibility within the industry, and he regularly contributes to seminars and trainings sessions at cocktail events the world over. In addition to working closely on many of New York City's best cocktail programs, he has also consulted Las Ranitas, an eco-resort in Tulum, Mexico, as well as several other venues around the United States. With his active participation in the United States Bartenders Guild, New York Chapter (USBGNY) he has spent the past four years developing and solidifying relationships in the industry, affording him the opportunity to work with many of the most respected names in the business. His work has been featured in several magazines, and he recently wrote the cover story for Bar Business. Today, he is able to blend his educational training and passion by working as a spirits advocate and educator, consultant, brand ambassador and journalist. While developing his knack for identfying flavors on the plate he excelled when it came to working with spirits from distillation to the creation of cocktails. His passion, interest, and curious nature about food and spirits remained powerful influences. He then went on to graduate school at the University of California at Santa Cruz, where he earned his Masters in Education, as well as the credentials he needed to be an English teacher.
Here he had the opportunity to work with and learn from world-renowned chef Cal Stamenov, and sommelier Mark Jensen, formerly of the Highlands Inn. It wasn’t long, though, before he was recruited to open the Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley.
He worked as a bartender through college at the award-winning Montrio in Monterey, CA. John went from dish washer, to busser, to waiter before finding his stride at the bar.
Bitten by the hospitality bug in high school and continuing through college, he used his skills to move ahead when others may have thrown in the towel – literally. John Pomeroy is the epitome of balance – in life and in his cocktails. So this summer, drink like a Cancer, with 6 beverages that can’t actually heal your sunburn, but that may still help with summertime sadness. Some good news: Cancers, with their sensitive natures, crave comfort, which does seem to at least lend itself very well to Zodiac-inspired, summer beverage selection. By Leo season, one is more able to bask without fear, and therein lies a perfectly metaphorical comparison of the difference in confidence between those 2 neighbor signs. When the days are longest, that’s the time of year that you are most likely to get burned from exposure. (Writer beware.) It’s actually very fitting that Cancer sun begins right at the summer solstice. They feel everything deeply, and if crossed, they feel that forever. Cancer people may forgive, but they will not forget, so I better get this one right.īut I’ll go easy (hopefully?) on the Cancers, because they generally don’t have it easy. Cancer was up next, and they were already signaling to me that they were watching. On the other, it kind of felt like a warning. She’s previously been evasive on this front.) On one hand, this was a real show of Cancerian support and long time loyalty, something the crabs of the Zodiac are definitely known for. All of them, in fact, have the same birthday, or very nearly. When I recently shared my Drink Like a Gemini article on Facebook, the first 3 people-in fact, nearly the only 3 people (RIP Facebook)-to like the post were my sister, my editor, and one of my longest childhood friends.
