Bar Tastings are here to stay!
We have re-launched our Bar Tastings each Wednesday and they are quickly becoming a must-do for Sudbury wine lovers. Each Wednesday, between 5-6pm, drop by to enjoy a different flight of FIVE (5) wines, get a little education, order a snack or two - or simply sit and sip. We started with series with vermouth - to get locals more accustomed to sipping vermouth on its own like they do overseas. We then moved to the trendy skin-contact "orange" wines to show case how white wine grape varietals...

Brewery proposal targets Old Town Roanoke
Image credit: Pirate Panda Brewing/Spiars Engineering & Surveying. A new brewery may be in the works for Old Town Roanoke , based on the minutes of a Planning & Zoning Commission meeting that took place in the city on Monday, April 6. Tentatively called Pirate Panda Brewing, the project would be a new construction located on what is now an approximately one-acre empty lot at 200 S. Oak St., just across from Hard Eight BBQ. Plans call for the build-out to consist of a "4,328 square foot brewery, a 3,500 square-foot patio area, and a 200 square-foot kitchen." Should the proposed venture come to fruition, Roanoke would then be home to two brewing operations, with Pirate Panda joining The 206 Brewery & Bar on Oak St., with just three blocks separating the two establishments. Also of note, ownership appears to be based in South Florida, which may have been a proposed destination for the project at one time based on a logo design contest held on the graphic design marketplace, 99

How to Drink La Fée Parisienne : The Authentic Absinthe Ritual
Absinthe has always been more than a spirit. It is a ritual, a preparation, a moment of transformation. When you pour a glass of La Fée Parisienne 68%, you are not simply serving a drink—you are participating in a tradition that stretches back to the cafés of 19th-century Paris, through prohibition, and into its modern revival. Yet despite its history, absinthe remains one of the most misunderstood spirits in the world. Too often it is rushed, mistreated, or reduced to gimmicks that have little to do with its true character. The reality is far more refined. This is your complete guide to drinking La Fée Parisienne authentic all natural Absinthe Supérieure properly—exactly as it was intended. The Purpose of the Ritual Before getting into the steps, it is important to understand why absinthe is prepared the way it is. La Fée Parisienne is bottled at 68% ABV for a reason. At this strength, the spirit preserves and carries a high concentration of essential oils extracted from its botanical
