I haven’t made cocktails in a bit and was enticed to make a tasty cocktail with Honey, so I made the most basic Brown Derby!
2oz Four Roses Bourbon
3/4oz Natural Nate’s Raw Honey Syrup (50/50 honey to hot water)
2oz Fresh Ruby Red Grapefruit juice

Measure, ice, shake, rattle and roll into a martini glass and garnish with a mega grapefruit slice! 🍸🥃🤯 #cocktail #bourbon #cocktails #brownderby #drink #mixology #oldskoolcocktail #honey #classiccocktails #delicious #easylover #whiskey #drinkup

Throwback Thursday!

This pic is from the 2004 Trophy Ruinart Best Sommelier of the Americas and Europe Competition! 🏆

I was in my full-on late 70's look with feather blonde hair, sideburns and a handlebar mustache! 🔥

I think with swagger through off the judges as it absolutely didn't fit the mold a clean-cut, shaven gentleman Sommelier at the time! 🤪

It was my first trip to Europe, and what a doozy it was to get to Ruinart! 🥂

One day I'll tell the story on a video about what I had to do to make it the Ruinart without any guides (they went to the wrong terminal), no cell phone working, I spoke a tiny amount of French, a bomb scare in the airport, a strike on the train to Reims and more... 🤯

One Minute Wine Review - Xurus - Cabernet Sauvigno

One Minute Wine Review - Xurus - Cabernet Sauvignon - 2009 - Sonatina Vineyard 🍇

This review is a tribute to winemaker Denis Malbec who was an incredible soul and amazing winemaker who left us too soon! 🙏 
My friends at XURUS Vineyards are honoring the memory and talent of the late, great Winemaker Denis Malbec and releasing the last bottles of the very limited 2009 and for wine collectors. 🍷

Join a special library release virtual tasting via ZOOM on JUNE 30th @ 7pm EST with my dear friend's Sommeliers Rob Renteria, Catherine Larsen, and owner Vintner Kambiz Safinya. ❤️ You can order your bottles at www.xurus.com to receive in time for and RSVP to our virtual tasting ZOOM tasting by contacting catherine@larsenwinegroup.com 👍

About Denis Malbec - Denis was born at Château Latour and rose to become Cellar Master in 1994. In 2000 Denis moved to St. Helena and went on to craft Xurus, a distinctly Bordelais style wine made with ultra-high-quality California Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The XURUS 2009 and 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon wines depict his influence, talent and his pedigree. 🌟

Pan-Roasted Marinated Chix Thighs w/ White Wine Bu

Pan-Roasted Marinated Chix Thighs w/ White Wine Butter Sauce - Apple/Cashew Brown Rice - Garlic Buttered Haricot Verts! 🍗

This is one of my go-to recipes, and the first time I've added sautéed apples and cashews to brown rice with a little doctoring with chicken stock, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. 🌿

I brought out the BIG GUN Châteauneuf-du Pape Blanc from Domaine Vieux Lazaret for this decadent dish! 🔥

CDP Blanc is one of those geeky wines that most of us wine nerds/somms love, BUT don't drink enough or can't find it! 🤷‍♂️ This wine is made from 30 year old Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Roussanne. 🍇

The wine is perfect for this French-inspired dish with flavors of baked apple, quince, mirabelle plum toasted almond, fennel, lemon verbena that finishes with sultry a mouth-coating texture. 🌈

I’m Crazy for Carmenere! 🔥 It’s story and

Some pics from the George Floyd rally in Cadman Pl

Some pics from the George Floyd rally in Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn Heights this week where his brother and some of his family spoke to the crowd about social injustices, racism and brutalities that have occurred to African American people. It was an amazing crowd with a mix positive energy and anger to support those who are unfairly treated and harmed by racial violence. It was great and strange to be around the wonderfully diverse people of NYC who are exercising their rights to protest and gather for the racial injustices happening all around the world after 3 months of isolation and social distancing. Bless you all for your activations to quell these brutalities to fellow humans!
These rallies pass by my apartment building daily so their energy and frustrations vibrate through me everyday.
I hope all of you out there are safe, healthy and kind to one another! 🙏❤️🌈
