Our shelves are LOADED with 🥃🫶🏼🎄 so tomorrow we’re tasting it! Tuesday Dec 20 5-7p

“Van Brunt Stillhouse is a New York State Farm Distillery in the heart of Red Hook Brooklyn. While the idea of a farm distillery in a big city seems somewhat ironic, we take our state farm license class to heart and think of ourselves as an extension Thor Oeschner's organic farm near Ithaca, the primary source of our grain. We believe in the strength and value of local economies.”

12/19/2022

on the Tasting menu for day 10- Monday 12/19 5-7p

Hand picked at their peak of ripeness, the grapes are then taken to our wine maker where the process of de-stemming, maceration, fermenting and eventually bottling will take place.

🐝🐝🐝🐝🥂

If you haven’t tried mead before, you’re bound to be pleasantly surprised. Mead is delicious, has the most health benefits of any alcohol out there, and more-often-than-not comes from very passionate mead makers who care about and love what they create. Also a very cute Holiday Gifting idea 😉

12/18/2022

From the Industry City for day 9 we have 🥃🎅🏼 Sunday 12/18 5-7p

Fort Hamilton uses New York grown organic corn and rye for their base grains, mixed with malted barley sourced from Scotland and England for every whiskey. They also use no GMOs :)

No chill filters either, which improves mouth feel but can make bottles appear hazy. They call it a sign of authenticity over shelf appeal.

“In order to achieve the purest expression of place, we implement low intervention practices, both in the cellar and in our farming methods.

Founded in 1990 by the Martini family 🍸
Anthony Road vineyards are managed by Peter Martini, using Vine Balance, New York state’s sustainable viticulture program. We machine harvest most of the crop, hand picking is done in the Vignoles and Pinot Noir.

The location of the vineyards in close proximity to Seneca Lake lends itself to a favorable microclimate for grape growing. Cooling in the summer and a few degrees above average temperatures during the winter.

Hand-cut lemons, limes, oranges and clementines for our botanicals and we refuse to associate with concentrates, artificial flavors, or dry citrus peels which produce dull and flat flavors. 🍋

What makes their gin different? It’s apples and oranges. The 88-proof gin is distilled using an apple base blended with neutral spirits and a citrus-forward blend of botanicals including orange peels. 🍊
