Winter ,
BY THE GLA SS
There is no denying the best in the business, such as Napa Valley or Boston, when the topic of discussion turns toward wine
and beer. We can, however, give credit to those underrated
properties that provide America with a brand just as good, if
not better than its top competitors. This season, as you tour
these truly unique wineries, breweries, and distilleries, you
may just find a batch, brew, or blend that is worth putting on
your gift list.
So, warm up your heart in the colder weather, with a glass of
specially-crafted beer, single-barrel blend, or a Christmas-red
merlot. Some come with a family twist, others with a dark past,
but all of these destinations will bring you exclusive creations
that are sure to awaken those hibernating taste buds.
Savor each sip, swirl each glass, and celebrate this winter with
cheer and a “cheers!”
