There are so many rabbit holes to get lost down when it comes to whiskeys and bourbons! For example, did you know Sour and Sweet mashes are not flavor descriptors but are more about the fermentation process? Now you do. Happy Friday!

Wednesday is National Red Wine Day and we want to celebrate! Take 10% off your purchase of three or more bottles of red wine and have yourself an (indoor) evening. Stop by any of our great locations to browse our extensive selections.

Happy Friday! Do you have a bottle sitting around that you're not sure what to do with? Or, maybe you're getting tired of the Friday night standard and want to "mix" it up a bit? Here are some ideas on how to use those industry-standard bottles to spice up your weekend.

It might be Fall, but it sure is feeling like it. That makes it the perfect time to whip up a fall-inspired margarita. Here’s a simple recipe to get you in the autumn spirit:

Directions
Rim your glass with a slice of lime and dip it in cinnamon sugar for a festive touch.
In a shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, apple cider, and lime juice with ice. Shake well.
Strain into the prepared glass filled with ice.
Garnish with apple slices and a cinnamon stick.

Enjoy!

🌞 With this amazing weather, it’s the perfect time to kick back and enjoy a drink or two on the deck or patio this weekend. If you’re in the Gladstone area, swing by and check out our Albarino—it’s a great pick for summer sippin’! Not close by? No worries! We’ve got plenty of other fantastic summer wines from around the globe just waiting for you. Cheers to good vibes and great wine! 🍷✨

Hey there, wine lovers! 🥂 With the Olympics in full swing, why not take a little virtual trip around the world right from your couch? Grab a couple of bottles from our amazing selection and let your taste buds do the traveling!

Feeling patriotic? Try a bold Cabernet Sauvignon from the US or a crisp Chardonnay. Craving something Italian? A smooth Chianti or a refreshing Prosecco could be just what you need. Don’t forget France—maybe pop open a classic Bordeaux or a bubbly Champagne for some extra fun! If you’re in the mood for something German, a Riesling can be super refreshing and perfect for summer sipping. Try a zesty Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand or if you're thinking South American, an Argentinian Malbec is always a winner!

So, pour yourself a glass (or two) and enjoy a staycation filled with delicious wines from around the world. Cheers to good times and great flavors! 🍷✨

No really, it's a real drink. The Olympic cocktail is a classic drink that emerged in the 1920s or 1930s, a period rich with the creation of many now-classic cocktails. The name "Olympic" suggests a celebration of grandeur and excellence, fitting for the cocktail’s elegant and balanced flavor profile. Give it a try as we watch the medal count climb!

Ingredients:
30ml Cognac or Brandy
30ml Triple Sec
30ml Orange Juice

Directions:
Prepare the Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Combine Ingredients: Add 30ml of Cognac or Brandy, 30ml of Triple Sec, and 30ml of Orange Juice into the shaker.
Shake: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds until well-chilled.
Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a martini glass.
Garnish: Garnish with an orange peel twist for an elegant finish.
