July 31st, 2009Taste Vertical Vodka shaken up with Vya Vermouth
Vertical Vodka (1 Ltr) – France – $26
Premium, smooth French vodka in a liter size.
Distilled from grain four times, at the distillery where Chartreuse is made.
Tres chic.
Vya Extra Dry Vermouth (375 ml) – California – $14
Vya premium dry vermouth is made from Colombard and Orange Muscat wine infused with
whole dried herbs: lavender, elecamanu, galangal, angelica, orris and linden.
A great martini mixer, but be sure to add more than the traditional “splash.”
Two Popular Wines From New Zealand
2007 Glazebrook Ngatarawa Sauvignon Blanc – Marlborough, New Zealand – $15
A New Zealand Sauv Blanc that drinks almost like a Sancerre with passionfruit and grapefruit flavors
that are tempered by a slightly grassy note. Crisp and penetrating.
2005 Glazebrook Ngatarawa Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon – Hawkes Bay, New Zealand – $24
Bottle aged and drinking beautifully! Bordeaux blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Deep plum/raspberry flavors and a hint of oak.
