By auctioning part of his personal collection at Christie's in Paris (8th arrondissement) starting this Thursday, February 29, Colin Field, cocktail master, is preparing to draw a line under three decades of reign within the legendary bar at the Ritz, the Hemingway.
“The Ritz will always be the Ritz,” smiles the man who is considered the best bartender – prefer bartender – in the world.

I need to tell myself that I'm no longer the bartender in this house.
Time to move on,
as we say at home…”
