Wine can feel like a universal language. Whether you’re sharing a bottle with friends or walking through the vineyards with a vigneron, or sipping a glass in a country far from home, pleasure is what matters most. And while this is true to some extent, language does play an important role on wine labels across the globe, and it’s easy for important details to get lost in translation.

There are thousands of breweries in the U.S., and a visit to any of them can be a mixed bag. Some are cozy, low-lit brewpubs tucked away on picturesque city streets, while others require a drive down a long dirt road without cell service or into a sketchy industrial park. Regardless of location or the effort it takes to get there, when the beer is of a certain echelon, some folks are willing to sacrifice atmosphere for good brew.

Ubiquity can beget creativity. Consider the cocoa-dusted slices of tiramisu that are all but guaranteed to be in the dessert case of your nearest Italian-accented restaurant. Those old-fashioned iterations inspire cooks and bartenders to reinterpret the recipe with globetrotting ingredients and untraditional formats. In the last two years, I’ve sipped a Tiramisu Martini at a Nashville cocktail bar (see recipe below), spooned up a version dotted with local strawberries in a farmhouse in Burgundy,

Ice is a relatively modern creation that most take for granted today. To many, it almost seems unfathomable to not be able to enjoy a soda or alcoholic beverage chilled with ice. Early access to ice was once achieved through the laborious practice of harvesting from the surface of frozen lakes in the dead of winter and making efforts to conserve it for as long as possible.
