What Are We Drinking Now? Leopold’s Summer Gin & Kiku Masamune Sake

Marshall is constructing a gorgeously refreshing summer cocktail! Leopold's Summer Gin & Kiku Masamune Dry Cup Sake With the days growing warmer and longer — except for this weekend when they'll be colder and snowier — I find myself wanting drinks that are more refreshing. One of my go-to cocktails for this time of year is a light, easy-going sipper I call a Spring Rain. For this recipe, I use Leopold's Summer Gin, Kiku Masamune Dry Cup Sake, Strongwater Lavender Bitters, and club soda. Leopold's Summer Gin is an annual release that beautifully embodies the season. This floral gin [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Fleur’s Dry Martini January

Fleur's Dry Martini January FLIGHT OF THREE, featuring: Bear Creek Distillery Rye Vodka Leopold Bros Silver Tree Vodka St. George Terroir Gin Proudly a creature of whims, I've never been much for depriving my feral little heart of its cravings, making my January a very dry-martini one. And what could be better than one martini? Why, three, of course! This dynamite little lineup reminded me that life is too short, too beautiful, and, at times, too heartbreaking not to delight in every single little happiness. Our three featured martinis: 1. Smoked Rye Gimlet 2. Salty Dickens 3. Dirty Bleu [...]

Bear Creek Distillery Silver Rum - Straight Outta Denver A gorgeous fall has graced us with its brisk air, chilly nights, and sudden rain storms.

What Else Are We Drinking Now? Brand Weissburgunder Pfalz 2019

Fleur is drinking Weissburgunder two ways. Brand Weissburgunder Pfalz 2019 What does a hot (that's sweaty-hot) girl do with a liter of natural German Weissburgunder? After being reunited with this luscious limestone-driven heartthrob, I was torn... Should I indulge in a decadent Monday night charcuterie dinner? Or would I create a spritely stone fruit Sangria blanca? You know me...Why not both??? Tart plum, white peach, kumquat, and delicate notes of Seville orange are laced together by this wine's tingling acidity and finish of wet stone — piquancy that matches perfectly with Cypress Grove's "Little Giant" bloomy-rind goat cheese, Divina [...]

Sweet-Savory Scallops and Camembert

A spoonful of sugar makes more than the medicine go down; it makes everything taste better. But sweetness can be a bugaboo to tasty wine pairings. When a dish is sweet — as here with the peach chutney or the milk of the cheese — but the wine is dry, in the way most wines are, then it's the wine that will taste like medicine. The best partners to sweetness in a food are a bit of sweetness in the wine or a marked fruitiness (as is the case with all three wines this week) wrapped tightly with acidity. [...]
