Drink of the Week: Lemorton Reserve

Imbibe Magazine

In a season of hours-long feasts, Calvados is one of my favorite ways to end a meal. (Others include amaro and staying at the table so long that you start to feel hungry again.) Lemorton Reserve, an aged Calvados from the Mantilly region of Normandy, France , is an especially crowd-pleasing option. Distilled from apples and pears, it bridges autumnal and wintry flavors, and makes an excellent dessert pairing or substitute.

VinePair

I think most of all I remember the garbage. In a mostly vacant lot in one of Washington, D.C.’s worst neighborhoods, I was poking at chunks of macerated fruit in my beer and wondering what people saw in this place.
