Become a Fan of Cachaçagora on Facebook

I had a Facebook Group for a while, but it wasn't really working for me. I'll be shutting it down in the next week or so.

This weekend, however, I started building the official Cachaçagora page on Facebook. It's already getting pretty close to where I want it .

Here's what readers can expect from here on out:

The primary Cachaçagora property will be this blog. This is where you're going to get recipes, features, interviews, tasting notes (which I promise to get back to) and so on.
The Facebook page will provide another forum for discussion of the topics brought up on the blog, plus an extra "light under the door" in terms of what I'm thinking. I'll also be highlighting some flashback posts there.
Twitter will more or less remain a notification mechanism for people who prefer updates that way. Given the Facebook page and the blog, I'm not sure I'll be engaging too much over there save for any @-replies or direct messages that get sent my way.

Saúde!

About Cachaçagora

Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.
I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.
This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.
So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.
Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.
Saúde!
