Grappa
We try to occasionally give a shout out to spirits we love that don’t get the limelight a lot, and this week we’re taking a look at grappa. Grappa is cognac’s ne’er-do-well cousin, an un-aged brandy made from the fermented … Continue reading

An American Whiskey that Begins with a B
It’s September, and it is Bourbon Heritage Month again. We’re big fans, so we thought we’d do our patriotic duty and drink some bourbon. Bourbon actually has a fair range of styles and flavors these days, especially given the craft … Continue reading
