We are always grateful for contributions to our show. We appreciate more than we can say those of you who watch our videos, listen to our podcast, and join us for our livestream. There are many other ways to contribute to our show, and one of our favorites is when someone gives us something that…
When we were last with you, we were discussing possible wine options for Thanksgiving. While it seems like that wasn’t all that long ago (because it wasn’t), we must now quickly pivot away from that holiday and set our sights on Christmas and New Years. The days and nights are getting colder, even here in…
Welcome to part two of this Cabernet theme week here at About Beverages. What a wonderful meaningful coincidence it was to find that we had a new Cabernet to try for our previous podcast and that it had a connection to another beverage that we wanted to share with our viewers, listeners and friends. This…
The Manhattan has long been one of our favorite mixed drinks. When bourbon, sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters come together with ice in your favorite drink mixing vessel, your palate is not far from liquid bliss.

We realize that since we have resumed podcasting, we have taken it kind of easy on you and on ourselves. We have done lots of beer, a few wines, and while we did do an Irish Whiskey, it was aged in IPA barrels. Delicious yes, but not your typical whiskey. For this podcast, we returned…
It has been far too long since we have posted a show and we thought what better way to make up for that than enjoying some bourbon with all of you. The Angel’s Envy bourbon from Lincoln Henderson comes in three expressions: Cask Strength, Rye Finished in Rum Barrels and the one we…
…These are a Few of Our Favorite Things
It is hard to believe that the year 2013 has almost come to a close. Before the year takes its final bow with the completion of the holiday season, we thought it would be nice to take a moment and look back upon all that has…
The Burly Gentlemen. These two words when put together simply cry out to be the name of a mixed drink. Not just any mixed drink mind you. A blended concoction that is sweet, smooth and delicious while also giving you a stern smoky kick that lets you know it’s business time! …
