How is this for an odd combination? An American company (based in Seattle) with Chinese Kung Fu on the label producing a German-style Riesling? It paired well with a spicy Chicken Giambotta. I later read that this particular wine was vinted to compliment spicy Asian foods. If that is the case, they did a good…

Barnacle Bill’s is known for their Long Island Iced Teas, but they also make an excellent martini.
That’s the Boldest Scotch I’ve Ever Had
The other night, I cracked open a bottle of Laphroaig 10. It was a Christmas present from my mom. Though such a gift would normally be a sipping Scotch after dinner, something inside of me just wanted to have it while I was eating. From the first sip to the last, I was utterly blown…
2018 Holiday Buying Guide: Kamora Coffee Liqueur
There are some knock-offs that truly taste like their inspiration. Others are fruitless wannabees that tried in vain to be something they could never be.

Tonight at Rumson’s Oceanic Free Library, I will be giving a talk on Bootlegging on the Jersey Shore. This was a shot of some of my research.
Restaurant Review #218: The Huddle (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
Our third bar visit of the day was thankfully the best one. Third time’s a charm, as they say. Since the first two were so disastrous, we debated even giving this place a chance at all. The goal was to come here for late night drinks and maybe a snack, before heading to a 24-hour…

I’m not a fan of dark beer (and did not really enjoy this one) but there could not be a more perfect bottle in the house for a screening of Nosferatu we had at the museum with live music. The bottle now rests as a collectible on my bar.
