Sir Jeremy Bell, of Toast Master International, is a kilted whisky ambassador who has toasted people such as Clint Eastwood and Rudy Giuliani, and he'll be on hand Saturday, as well. Non-whiskey lovers can try some wine and beer that day. KJ Baaron's is that new cool place at the rotary near Union Station that you keep meaning to stop into.
