Midway Mercantile frequently hosts wine, beer, and even Bourbon pairing dinners that are both fun and educational. They have three wine dinners coming up, including a visit from Leo Steen of Leo Steen Vineyards on Thursday, March 28. The gang at Midway Mercantile said, “The dashing Dutchman is back, with his delicious wines and charismatic stories. We have hosted Leo for 2 or 3 previous wine dinners but not in a few years; we are so happy to have him back. Specializing in chenin blanc, but creating a very diverse portfolio of grape varietals, you will enjoy his fresh wines and fresh take on the wine business.” $160 per person including tax and gratuity.

Then on Wednesday, April 24 Roland Hermann will be on hand for an Early Spring Italian Dinner. “Roland has stories from all over the globe and in this case will bring his charms to an Italian portfolio of tasty wines set against an early spring Italian menu created by John and his sous chefs. As the snow recedes by mid-April, we will be ready to feast on Italian grapes and fare, hinting at our glorious summer ahead.” $180 per person including tax and gratuity.

Finally, on Tuesday, June 18 Midway Mercantile will host a Spanish Dinner with Pares Balta Winery and Cam Mercer. “A family vineyard and family wine-makers. Take a trip to the hills and terraced hillsides of the Penedes region of Spain, close to Barcelona but miles away in rustic deliciousness. The winery owner will be coming to Utah fresh off the Aspen Food and Wine Festival, bringing great wine and great stories to combine with Cam’s sommelier’s insights. Nothing John likes better than venturing to Spain for culinary inspiration, this should be a beautiful June evening on the Mercantile-Penedes Patio!” 180 per person including tax and gratuity.

Utah Craft Whiskey: How Barrels and Utah’s Climate Shape Flavor

Utah’s craft whiskey scene is shaped by more than grain, yeast, and time. The state’s dry climate plays an unusually powerful role in how spirits age, intensifying the relationship between whiskey and the barrels that hold it.

Low humidity accelerates evaporation during aging, often claiming 14–18 percent of a barrel’s contents as the “angel’s share.” Unlike more humid regions where alcohol evaporates faster, Utah barrels tend to lose more water, concentrating flavor and driving proof upward over time. That accelerated interaction pulls sugars, tannins, and spice from the wood more quickly, creating whiskeys that often taste older and more structured than their age statements suggest.

To understand how Utah distillers are deliberately harnessing climate, char, and finishing barrels to shape flavor, two producers at the forefront of that experimentation — Sugar House Distillery and Spirits of the Wasatch — shared how barrel choices influence everything from sweetness and spice to texture and proof.
