What is Uncle Ron's Academy?



Uncle Ron’s Academy is a happy dynamically fluid crew who gather in various sized groups, committees, gatherings, celebrations enjoying visits with or just hanging around Uncle Ron.

Who is Uncle Ron? Uncle Ron is a "spirit". However, the Academy should say that it was a "aha" sort or moment when we realized that the "Ron" in Ron Carioca or Ron Zacapa Centenario was not a primero nombre but Rum! So when we gather it’s more of a family adventure valuing all those great things like life, love, learning. It is more than a night out on the town... So, we are Uncle Ron’s Academy....

This blog spot will feature all sorts of things like rum, music, feasts, literature, dancing, links to other rum sites, events, adventurers and one of the great causes we support: Los Primos Project

RUM RUNNING


CBC TV's Land and Sea is going to air a documentary on Rum Running  In the 1920's and 30's - many sailors in Nova Scotia did the unthinkable - they stopped fishing and became international smugglers.


They took liquor into the United States during Prohibition.This episode tells the dramatic story of Rum Running.

By the way the pic above is of the I'm Alone which I think will be discussed in the Documentary.. however what they don't know is that it's the main sail from the I'm Alone that is part of Uncle Ron's Logo...

Cuba Has Landed

We all know Cuba rocks and we also know that Cuba has libations that go wonderfully on the rocks! Three have just arrived……  The Academy has enjoyed them all before…  Leading the landing is #1 from 2010 Legendario Elixir De Cuba 7   … It is most wonderful.  Let’s see what Chip has to say from the Rum Howler Blog Next a sleeper but a great sleep.  One of the Rums Uncle Ron dreams about:  Ron Cubay.  It hard to find a review for this? You know we have two bottles… maybe we should review it ourselves? Time for a faculty meeting?  Next on the course list is Havana Club Anejo … This is a gift from the Campus in Havana….  Here is a review from The Liquorists Blog

Wine lovers may get to BYOB out of province | The Chronicle Herald



Wine lovers may get to BYOB out of province The Chronicle Herald

OTTAWA — Wine lovers can rejoice that they may soon be able to leave the province with their drink of choice. Beer lovers, not so much.


Thanks to a federal law still on the books from 1928, it is illegal to ship liquor to another province or even take it with you as you cross a provincial border.

Crafted in the rum-runner era, the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act was designed to control the flow of alcohol by barring its passage between provinces unless it was through government-sanctioned channels
