Sip o' the week: The Takashi Martini

The Takashi Martini During a visit this week to Takashi restaurant for their world-class sushi, I enjoyed a remarkably tasty house cocktail called The Takashi Martini. It was a perfect accompaniment to one of music-lover Takashi Gibo’s cleverly-named Mr. Blue Sky roll. The Takashi Martini - a scrumptious blend of Jack Rabbit Gin, Ransom Dry Vermouth, Génépy des Alpes … [Read more...]

Sip o’ the Week - Citra Trebbiano D’Abruzzo DOP 2017

Now that the temperatures outside have started to drop and hints of autumn are in the air, I’m scrambling to enjoy the last of lighter, summer wines before the snow starts to fly. One such wine - a very enjoyable, affordable, uncomplicated white wine from Italy is Citra Trebbiano D’Abruzzo DOP 2017 ($10). The label says it all: This wine is made from 100% Trebbiano grapes in … [Read more...]

Sip o’ the Week – Üllo Wine Purifier

September 20, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Üllo Wine Purifier

In this week’s SIP o’ the week column, I’m featuring a wine gadget whereas I normally write about particular wines, cocktails, beers, etc. I’d like to introduce Üllo ($79.99) a nifty wine purifier that takes up very little space in your wine cellar or at the table. Üllo handles a couple of chores very well. First of all, it “captures” sulfites in wine with Üllo’s Selective … [Read more...]

All Occasions Zinfandel: Artezin Old Vine Zinfandel Mendocino

September 5, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

As we grow near the end of barbecue and grilling season, I’m recommending an affordable, wonderful wine that’s great with grilled food but would also be a welcome guest at this year’s Thanksgiving holiday table. The wine is Artezin Old Vine Zinfandel Mendocino County ($15.95). It’s a very fruity and robust Zin that - unlike a lot of blockbuster Zinfandel these days - has a … [Read more...]

Simplicity Canned Cocktails—pop the top and enjoy

August 16, 2019 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Cocktails in cans? Americans have been drinking beer out of cans since 1935. And, more recently, wine and fizzy drinks containing alcohol have become available  in cans as well. So Simplicity Cocktails’ founders Chris Weed and Chad Linville thought—why not canned cocktails? Weed and Linville, following years of R&D, have created Utah’s first company … [Read more...]
