Since the dawn of craft beer, bars have played a pivotal role in the boom of American brewing. Nowhere is this more true than at the more specialized spots: the beer bars, as we know them, with their thoughtful selections across tap lines and bottle lists, and their dedication to service, atmosphere, and education. The best ones are learning institutions —places of discovery and retention, from the emerging trends to the established tastes.

But since we’re celebrating, we’re not settling for some run-of-the-mill hard seltzer flavor of the week. No, friends, we’re making cocktails — delicious bubbly ones at that. Because, even when we’re stretched out on the couch in our finest comfy clothes, exhausted from all that celebrating, we’re keeping it classy.

This wine is invariably a monster , and the 2020 vintage is no exception to that rule, Inky purple-black, it is initially slightly off-putting with its tarry notes of the blackest of berries and the darkest of chocolates — notes of blackened oak barrels and licorice candies never far from reach. The 2020 expression is a bit sweeter than 2019’s, which pulls you out of the otherwise brooding mood a bit with an ever-so-saccharine quality, particularly lingering on the finish.

As with all things in life, not all tequilas are created equal. Some are perfect for Margaritas while others are meant for sipping neat, and some tequilas aren’t actually tequila at all (looking at you, Jose Cuervo). No matter what purpose they serve, there is no denying that tequila’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. And with an abundance of labels available on shelves, tequila drinkers have no shortage of options to choose from.
