Who could say no to a Quinta do Noval wine tasting? Maybe a few of you could but that is only because you don't know Quinta do Noval. One of the most famous of Port houses, Quinta do Noval is and has been royalty in Porto. Not only famous for making world-class wine but also famous for having one of the few pre-phylloxera vineyards in Europe, Nacional. Although we won't be privileged to taste the Vintage Nacional as only 90 bottles…

Who knew Boston was a hotbed for winemaking? Someone did and they called at Boston Winery. Let's be honest; there aren't any grapes being grown in Boston, at least not like California. But the wines are being made in Boston. Californian grapes are shipped to Boston, then they are crushed, aged, and bottled right here in our home state. Making wine is not that difficult, it's making drinkable wine that is. We have seen many "crush" wines (no vineyards or…

From Ancient Lakes to Mudgee: Try Something New Wine Tasting Series. Because wine is fun. Wine is fun; what a concept. And what better way to enjoy and see the beauty of wine than with a wine tasting? Sampling wines is a staple for most wine shops. They allow buyers to decide if a particular bottle is a fit for the store. Or they give you, the customer, the opportunity to try it before buying it. Not every wine is for…

Hillrock Estate distillery is perhaps best known for having the world’s first Solera aged Bourbon, but they also offer an exceptional rye and one of the best single malts I have tasted in a long time. Being an Estate distillery means that everything, from seed to bottle, is carefully managed by the estate. The craft and care employed throughout the creation of their whiskies is evident in the bottle. These are a must try. Doug Thorsey will be hosting a…

Locally owned and operated, Bully Boy Distillers has become one of Massachusetts' gems. During prohibition, the Willis family farm was home to an enviable collection of local artisan spirits.

Paying attention to the ingredients, Bully Boy produces small-batch spirits. Choosing to emphasize quality over quantity, the Willises create micro batches of their top-notch liquors. This commitment to their family's heritage is…

The most anticipated get together of the year is Thanksgiving Dinner. At least it is in our household. Family, friends, and good food set the mood for the day and nothing is better. That being said, Thanksgiving dinner can be a burden to the hosting family. Long days of prep, an early start the day off, and clean up like you wouldn't believe. Sometimes motivation is the issue as the stress of Thanksgiving can mount up quickly. That is why we…
Find out more »Cleveland Underground Bourbon
Cleveland Whiskey has developed a truly innovative technology to create a line of revolutionary new flavor profiles that push the boundaries of traditional bourbon. For generations, oak has been used to age spirits simply because it has the right pore structure to hold liquid. It's hard, if not impossible, to make a barrel out of black cherry, sugar maple, or apple wood that doesn't leak like a sieve and yet there are so many untapped flavors that can come from…

Although we are closed, we would like to give thanks to everyone that makes what we do possible. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you and, more importantly, it wouldn't be as much fun. Thank you for all your support. Hope you enjoy the day off with your family. "The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness." --Dalai Lama
