Hey Nidal,

I have written up the Pina Colada entry on the Wiki, does it seem correct to 
you?

Jared Brown, who wrote the Pina Colada article for the Journal of the American 
Cocktail, has written an article for Slammed Magazine saying how he went about 
researching his article:

"Lingo is a wonderful service. So is Google. My unlimited long distance calls 
to the PR rep at the Sawgrass Marriott in Ponte Verde Beach, FL turned up good 
news and bad news. Ricardo Gracia had indeed worked there for years, making 
piña coladas precisely as he’d made them at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan in 
the 1950s. However, he’d recently retired at age 90. Gracia, the rep told me, 
was in ill health and was not up for an interview. I tried every trick in the 
book to get her to put a word through to him, but she was a stonewall. "

Surely it should be a criminal matter to impede the investigation of cocktail 
related matters such as these.


Cheers!
