Today, and again from Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Access Live 2024, I will be reviewing bourbons, a Tequila and an Amaro. Last to come will be my article on a very classy brand of ready-to-drink craft cocktails. From Bardstown, Kentucky, and the coolest looking barrel-colored and shaped bottles I’ve ever seen, we…
This week it’s all about the brown spirits! From Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Access Live 2024 I had many opportunities to try new spirits. In this article, and in the next few following it, I will be sharing the vodka, gin, ready-to-drink craft cocktails, tequila, whisky and bourbons I’ve reviewed. @BNS_Whisky on…
Tasted a new-to-me canned cocktail called “Togronis” that was made with “dry gin, sweet vermouth and red bitters” which is exactly what is in a Negroni. But in the canned cocktail category this one comes in at 25% alcohol – that’s much higher than your standard canned cocktails. I will share my own tasting notes,…

In our previous article, we mentioned that, while tasting wine with winemaker Antoine Favero at Mazzocco Sonoma, he suggested he had something special in mind for the next afternoon. So, the next day, after our morning visit to St. Anne’s Crossing [which will be covered in a future article], Antoine picked us up at Mazzocco’s…
Before tasting the latest Riesling from Smith-Madrone I was reminded of a time years ago when I attended a Riesling class and food pairing. The wines were from one winery in the Mosel region of Germany (grown on steep hillsides similar to Smith-Madrone) and I remember that only the last couple of wines we sampled…
