You either love bourbon, or you really dislike it a lot. I have to admit that I am in the latter category. Yet, in the interest of bringing a new review to our devoted readers, I recently sat down at my nearest watering hole and sampled Buffalo Trace bourbon.
Made for over 200 years on the banks of the Kentucky River, Buffalo Trace is a very smooth bourbon whiskey. The company bills themselves on their website as “the most award-winning distillery in the world.” However much truth there may be in that statement, the professional quality of the company shines

Bottle/Tap: Can
This week I bring you a tale of two cans born of the same brewery and vying for some attention. Which can was better, you ask? That depends on your taste buds, Avid Reader, and what you choose to wet your whistle with on a warm spring evening. I am no stranger to the flagship brew from America’s oldest brewery and I was interested to get acquainted with its younger, slimmer brother. To stop them from fighting I put them both in the fridge for a time out and then found my Yuengling pint glass waiting for

2009 Chateau Moulin Boyer Bordeaux
by Dennis Mayer on May 18th, 2012 | Red Wine, Wine
I wrote a couple of weeks ago that when buying a blend, like bordeaux, you should focus less on vineyards/wine producers, and more on the vintages that produce good blends from all wineries. I'll try to put that theory to the test today by comparing one 2009 economically priced bordeaux Chateau Moulin Boyer's 2009 imprint (on sale for $11 at my local wine shop) against a Chateau La Grange De Grenet from the same year that I reviewed in the aforementioned column last month.

Bacardi Dragon Berry Rum
by James Maynard on May 16th, 2012 | Liquor
Bacardi introduced their dragon berry rum flavor late last year, and it is a smooth, though pungent spirit, which could have a multitude of uses. Retailing for about $12-14 a bottle, this is a wholly reasonable rum for the cost.
I still clearly remember the first time I tried a dragon berry. I saw them in a grocery store and I was awed by the strange way they looked. They are about the size of a mango, colored rosy to bright red with hues of pink spread throughout. The fruits have little green petals growing upwards, toward the top of

Butternuts Beer and Ale, Variety Pack
by J Frazzetta on May 14th, 2012 | Beer
Good day to you, Avid Reader; in an effort to showcase more beers from cans, I decided to break into a variety pack I’ve had sitting for a few months. I was just waiting for the right time of year to unleash the contents upon you and figured now would be as good a time as any. This week we are checking out some brews by the Butternuts folks from upstate New York. I should mention to you this is not my first encounter with these beers -- but we’ll get to that later on. To the tasting!
