Ask a Sake Pro: Can I Use Sake in Cocktails?
Sake has long been best known as a drink to sip neat at Japanese restaurants. But as the world of Japanese bartending becomes more popular, the interest in enjoying it in cocktails is growing.

Meet the Maker
30A Distilling Co is a celebration of the beautiful place we call home. At the heart of our company is our founder Brian Rabon, a proud Florida distiller and serial entrepreneur. Dive in to meet the maker behind 30A Distilling Co! Brian first fell in love with the beaches dotting the Emerald Coast as a kid, visiting the area every summer with his family. 30A became his favorite place –– the location of all his best memories and the place he always wanted to be. Just a Southern kid with big dreams, Brian made it his goal to someday live on the beach. He achieved that as an adult and now splits his time between Salt Lake City, UT and 30A. In high school, Brian thrived in chemistry classes and excelled in labs. He followed this interest into college, starting in Chemical Engineering and eventually declaring and graduating with a degree in Computer Science from Auburn University. While he launched into a successful career in the field, he never forgot how much he enjoyed chemis

They have created the perfect storm for controlled demolition of money
I’m glad to be back talking financial insights, one glass of wine at a time. First they shut down the economy, to save lives. With the closure of the economy, production ceased. To compensate for non-production or reduced production, people were paid not to lose income. In this way, it was possible for people to […]

Pursuing Wine Appreciation, Part2
In my previous post I described various roadmap markers encountered while travelling the circuitous and open-ended road of Wine Appreciation. The starting point was understanding a wine’s primary structural aspects, its building blocks, (acidity, sweetness, alcohol and tannins), and how those, in turn, are determined by the underlying grapes from which it is made. This was crucial inasmuch as American and most New World wines are primarily labelled and distinguished by the underlying grape. But that information was of limited assistance when I tried to understand how European wines identified and differentiated themselves between countries, as well as between regions of the same country. My next offramp took me to the notion of Appellation: where a wine is produced, its birthplace, its unique origins. Appellation is a promise of authenticity. You’re getting The Real Thing , not a knockoff. (Involved enthusiasts are also familiar with the underlying grapes, b

Ask a Sake Pro: What Sake Should Be Served Hot?
Sake tends to be a hot and cold subject — either people could never imagine drinking a steaming cup of warmed sake, or they wouldn’t dare to pull a bottle straight from the fridge. Some even think that if a sake needs to be heated, then it is automatically low-quality. But according to Austin Power, owner of Accidental Bar in Manhattan’s East Village, that can’t be further from the truth.

2021 Bordeaux En Primeur | The gloom & the glory
