Lithology is a rather under-the-radar luxury cabernet brand, but I’m making the argument that it shouldn’t be. This remote Howell Mountain operation is managed by three winemakers — Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, and Matt Sands, plus consulting winemaker Michel Rolland. Their idea? Work their winemaking voodoo each year by selecting the right fruit from the best vineyards in Napa to craft the perfect wine once each year.

A quasi- Sidecar riff, the Between the Sheets is a 1930s creation that often flies under the radar.

For the next several weeks, we are going to make Old Fashioneds. After all, the fundamental template— spirit, sugar, bitters —is so flexible that almost everything can be an Old Fashioned. And around this time of year, I often wonder if everything should be. We’re not going to make just any Old Fashioneds, either. Rather, we are going to make Old Fashioneds that stretch the formula, either by adding an ingredient to the template or by making an unexpected substitution.

Highballs have long been tethered to the realm of dive bars. More often than not, they max out at two ingredients, sans the obligatory citrus wedge garnish. Given their easy composition, highballs traditionally fall into the category of drinks that one can easily recreate at home without any professional bartending experience. Until now. These days, we’re seeing several high-end cocktail bars embrace the highball template, using it to create complex versions of those nostalgic, simple classics m

It may be somewhat old news, but the sale of Wilderness Trail to Campari Group in late 2022 in a deal valued up to $600 million remains the biggest declared American whiskey acquisition since Jim Beam sold to Suntory in 2014 (for 16 billion). Balcones traded hands to Diageo for an undisclosed sum not long after, followed by Skrewball (also to Campari) and then Blue Run to Molson Coors, making it seem as though the flood gates might open on American whiskey acquisitions in 2024, but big buys have
