Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI) held its annual trade show October 7, 2014 at High Rollers Foxwoods Casino. The venue was filled with CDI’s accounts and guests, who sampled products from CDI’s Fine Wine Portfolio, High End Spirit Portfolio and Cordials. The event also included an Iron Bartender-style cocktail competition. Sponsored by Bacardi, Hennessey and Absolut, the brands were chosen “at random” for competitors, who then chose additional ingredients ranging from fruits and vegetables to spices and candies among others.
