"In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue..."

Those are the opening lyrics to a tune written by songwriter and raconteur Nancy Schimmel.  And they certainly come to mind today, the day that we observe a great voyage of Christopher Columbus - the man who is widely credited with the founding of the New World.  Did you know that, while the day has been observed for years and years, it wasn’t until 1937 that President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared it a federal holiday?

Whatever your annual ritual is for this holiday, we hope you enjoy the day.   And check in with us on Facebook and Twitter for more fun and interesting facts about the beverage industry!

From all of us here at Sip & Savor, we wish you a happy Columbus Day!
