Since one could not enjoy a glass of wine or an incredible creation from a mustachioed mixologist with one’s dinner, citizens of this great country would gather in speakeasies before dining and enjoy a happy hour of imbibing. After the 21st Amendment was passed, cocktail lounges carried on the tradition.

Man’s relationship with this versatile and forbidden fruit goes back thousands of years. There are over a hundred different varieties of apples grown specifically to make cider; you could travel the world on a quest for different incarnations and never come up empty. Production, like that of wine, is relatively simple. Once the apples are deemed mature, they are plucked and ground down into pomace. Historically, this was done using pressing stones with circular troughs, or by a “cider mill,” which was operated by hand, water wheels or by horse-power. Today, they are most often run by electricity (not surprisingly, due to no more hours of clopping around in circles, the number of dizzy horses found roaming the farm has also decreased). The pomace is loaded into 1012 layers, each separated by straw mats or wooden racks, and then subjected to intense pressure until the juices are squeezed out. Fermentation is done at low temperatures to maintain the apple’s delicate aromas and after a three-month fermentation period, is ready to drink. Often, they are further matured in vats for up to three years to allow the flavors to mature and develop. It’s cider time, people. 6 OZ. BTL. Bellwether, Lord Scudamore, New York -750ml- 10. 40.

Let’s begin with the obvious or maybe not so obvious…R I E S L I N G I S N O T A N I N H E R E N T L Y S W E E T W I N E . Okay, so that is out of the way. Next up. What needs to be made abundantly clear is that when the Riesling grape is grown in the perfect terroir, it can produce some of the most sublime, well-balanced wines on the planet Earth. And yes, there may be some residual sugar in some of those German examples. But who cares! In America, we talk dry but we drink sweet. Don’t deny it; other than New York City school kids, someone is drinking all that Coke and Dr. Pepper and Snapple. What you need to understand, accept, and embrace is when one does encounter a little residual sugar in a riesling, it is counterbalanced by a high level of tartaric acid. When a wine rides this razor’s edge of balance, it is the most thrilling beverage possible. This next fact may be even harder to accept but you’ve come this far: wine does not have to be super-spoofulated to be considered great. Greatness should be defined by the following criteria: -the terroir of the grape resonates through the wine like a summer thunder clap -the fruit of the grape enlivens the wine like a perfect Georgia peach -the sense of man’s involvement in these expressions of the grape should mirror the sound of Mark Sanford’s reception back into his wife’s home...silence -the penetration of the wine on the palate invokes memories of our first encounter with Mom’s milk…super fricken’ yummy (and you never want to stop drinking) Let’s be honest for a moment, if God had wanted us to drink those Frankenstein wines, he would have given us the neuro complexity of an amoeba. Rudolf Steiner urged us to become aware of one’s humanity. By drinking Riesling, you become a better person. Van Volxem, Volz, 2012, Saar 90. QmP, Tonmergel, Korrell, 2010, Nahe 46.

During the World Cup this summer in Brazil, every one of the 32 qualifying countries will be assigned an interpreter and a palate of rosé wine. 3. Jimmy Fallon loves to lip sync AND drink rosé wine with Emma Stone. 4. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Canada’s greatest Prime Minister because he loved Canada as a single country and he conducted each cabinet meeting with a magnum of rosé by his side. 5. Because my mother said so…and she is always right, like when she stated that Nine Inch Nails’ album The Downward Spiral was better than Head Like a Hole 6. During every Barcelona game, Lionel Messi’s water bottle is filled with rosé…and that is why he scores a goal every single game! 7. The N.S.A. was not monitoring your email exchanges; they were tracking your rosé consumption. 8. If Joffrey Baratheon had been drinking rosé wine, he would still be alive today.

When you consume a Red Burgundy, you are not drinking a Pinot Noir; you are enjoying the liquid bounty of Mother Earth. 2. In exile, Napoleon was allowed a magnum a day of Chambertin… he stated it maintained his regal stature. 3. Compared to Bordeaux, these domains in Burgundy are tiny…sort of like comparing a 1982 Lada to a 1964 Lincoln Continental. 4. The monks at Cluny and Citeaux worked their arses off for over 750 years cultivating this land and making these wines…do you want to disappoint them? 5. Pinot Noir is a very fickle grape to grow. And in Burgundy it thrives (when Mother Nature allows it to). And any opportunity to drink a great Pinot Noir is a damn good day. 6. Gerard Depardieu is banned from drinking it since his renunciation of French citizenship 7. “One must be lazy when you grow Pinot Noir” stated the great Henri Jayer… so let’s all be lazy. 8. Because Daniel Johnnes told me it would make my life better… and he is always right.

This statement brings tears to the eyes of a few souls, mainly those standing before you now. It is our mission to be accomplished to increase Sherry consumption three fold over the next 5 years. And from our little pulpit in the East Village we are saying “no” to the naysayers…no, you cannot have another Cosmopolitan or Apple Martini or Espresso Spritzer with a Sambuca Float…no, Sherry is not just for your grandmother who likes it on the rocks at 3:00pm while watching As The World Turns…no, Sherry is not just the tipple for Royals lamenting the loss of old Mother England. So, say “yes” to Sherry. Say “yes”to the world’s greatest beverage! And now for something completely different: the facts. -the region of production is in the extreme south of Spain, in a geographic triangle formed by the three towns of Jerez, El Puerto and Sanlucar; this area comprises 50,000 total acres -the soil in the region is called albariza (from the Latin alba, meaning white); it is composed of a white, chalky loam with magnesium, clay and lime -the climate is greatly affected by the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean which brings moisture to the vines; having said that, there are still 290 days of bright sunlight here -the main grape in the production of dry Sherry is the Palomino grape; all sweet Sherries are made with the Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes (these are dried in the sun to allow the water inside to evaporate; a little brandy is then added to the must to create the sweet nectar -the two main types of Sherry are Fino and Oloroso. Everything begins as a fermented wine and then through a massive tasting session, the lightest and cleanest will become Finos (the wines are fortified to 15 degrees and the wine remains under the veil of flor -a strain of Saccharomyces yeast which helps to prevent oxidation) and the ones with more body become Olorosos (the wines are fortified to 17 degrees and there is no protection against the air so these wines have an oxidative note) -an Amontillado is an Oloroso trying to be a Fino -a Palo Cortado is a Fino trying to be an Oloroso -the wines mature in an ageing mechanism called a Solera System. Easy to understand, hard to explain, please ask your waiter for a visual description. Just know that the running of the scales results in a blended, consistent wine that angels drink before they retire at night. 3 oz. glass Fino, Superior, Urium Fino, Cesar Florido Amontillado de Sanlucar de Barrameda, Almacenista, Manuel Cuevas Jurado, Lustau Amontillado V.O.R.S., Del Duque, Gonzalez Byass Palo Cortado, Viejo C.P., Valdespino Palo Cortado Especial, Marques de Rodil, Hidalgo Palo Cortado y PX V.O.R.S., Apostoles, Gonzalez Byass Oloroso, 15 Años, El Maestro Sierra Oloroso, Sangre y Trabajadero, Guiterrez Colosia Oloroso Dulce V.O.R.S., Matusalem, Gonzalez Byass Pedro Ximénez, San Emilio, Lustau Moscatel, Especial, Cesar Florido 10. 9. 13. 20. 14. 16. 20. 10. 12. 20. 11. 10.

The Atlantic Ocean has very little influence on the temperatures in the region, which often exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. The terraced vineyards are carved into the super steep schist (iron ore) hillsides and the vines generally have about 5 feet to establish themselves before hitting granite (thankfully, the bedrock fractures vertically so the roots do have a chance to go in search of water and minerals).

Madeira is a volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean, located about 625 miles from the coast of Portugal. The grapes are planted on terraces called poios, carved into the red and grey basalt bedrock. The island experiences high rainfall and the average temperature is 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The majority of the best vineyards are planted at altitude (5900 feet) to minimize the effects of the tropical climate. If you want to drink American, there may be no better drink than Madeira...the signing of the Declaration of Independence was toasted with a glass of this glorious juice. Celebrating the completion of the US Constitution, the fifty-five drafters racked up a bill for 54 bottles of Madeira…truly, giants roamed the earth in those days.
