Ask a Sommelier: Should You Decant White Wine?

VinePair

When it comes to serving wine, deciding when to decant your bottle can be tricky. Traditionally, the process of decanting is associated with red wines — especially those with a bit of age — as it reduces the presence of bold tannins and sediment while allowing the wine enough time to properly oxidize, resulting in a more pleasurable drinking experience.

Review: Green River Rye

Drinkhacker

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Green River introduced a rye whiskey to their lineup. I’m honestly surprised we didn’t see it earlier. Rye is often the first offering from a new label, but we’ve already been spoiled with a trifecta of impressive bourbons from the Owensboro outfit. This latest is a blend of ryes aged 4 to 6 years and made from a mashbill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, a recipe that should look familiar to fans of Ross & Squibb (nee MGP) rye.
