In the mid/late 1990s, when White Zinfandel was cashing in big, and Portuguese imports, Lancers and Mateus, were delivering a similar sugary profile, my wife Helga and I made trips to Germany, France and Italy. We were taken aback by Germany’s Weissherbs t, France’s Vin Gris , and Italy’s Rosato . The surprise? They were Dry. Bone dry. And not sweet, like the aforementioned. The recognition of what authentic Rosé was really like , motivated me, initially, to start nagging my friends, and secondarily, to pontificate to those who stumbled upon my articles. In dinner gatherings, so as not to see what I was pouring, I pleaded with them to close their eyes, taste and evaluate, and then take a look at what they enjoyed. One friend offered, “Yea, it tastes fine, but I just can’t see myself holding a glass of pink wine.” In the 2001 article, (the first of many), I pr

This week's guest on Spirits of Whisk(e)y is Lisa Roper Wicker, President, Head Distiller, and Blender at Widow Jane Distillery. Located in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Widow Jane, in addition to making and laying down its own distillates, affectionately named "Baby Janes," sources and blends straight bourbon and rye whiskeys from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and then proofs them with limestone mineral water from New York's Hudson River Valley, home of the historic Widow Jane Mine. Listen and learn how Lisa, a former ballet dancer and native of Bloomington, Indiana, went from winemaking in America's heartland to whiskey making in the center of the hipster universe.

Namazake — Fresh-Pressed, Unpasteurized Sake — Is Spring’s Most Exciting Release
Recently, in one of the outdoor cabins that comprise the Covid-era “winter village” outside the Japanese restaurant Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, co-owner George Padilla opened a bottle and poured it into an ochoko, the little ceramic sake cup I had chosen for myself. Then, he poured for himself. We were partaking in a ritual that is seasonal in Japan, the drinking of unpasteurized sake, called namazake.

EP 37: David DaFazio of Wyoming Whiskey
This week's guest on Spirits of Whisk(e)y is David DeFazio, Founder of Wyoming Whiskey. Located in Kirby, a four-hour drive east of Jackson Hole, Wyoming Whiskey produces a range of outstanding whiskeys, including Double Cask—a straight bourbon finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks—and Outryder, a rye-forward, bottled-in-bond, straight American whiskey that's neither rye nor bourbon. Listen and learn how David, an attorney and native of upstate New York, turned a passion for whiskey into a life in whiskey. Then hear how Wyoming Whiskey's Private Stock Straight Bourbon got Chef Louise "Weezy" Leonard craving a bison burger smothered in a mild, gooey cheese, something like a Havarti, with caramelized onions to bring out the sweetness of the spirit, drunken sautéed mushrooms, a few sprigs of arugula for a peppery bite, and a nice grainy mustard.
