Ah, September!

Happy September! I am glad to be back, sharing wines, beers and spirits with you all.

For the month of August, I did not drink any alcohol so did not try any new drinks that is why I did not post much last month.

Everything I feature on this blog, I have personally tried and that is why I showcase them.

I am excited for the Fall and Winter seasons and looking forward to all that is to come.

Be on the look our for the first blog for the month of September.

Cheers and Enjoy Responsibly!

Mancura etnia: Sauvignon Blanc

Mancura is the first winery in Chile to obtain sustainability certification in the following three areas:

Full compliance in the green 2 area of the Sustainability Code
Inclusion of the local community
Assessment and care of the soil

Winemaker’s Notes:

This elegant dry white wine is bursting with delicious tropical fruit aromas and delicate floral notes. The palate is clean, zesty and refreshing, full of ripe citrus flavors and crisp acidity.

Happy National Tequila Day

Just passing by to wish you all a happy tequila day and just provide a bit of information about it.

Tequila is made from the blue agave plant and by law must be made in Mexico.

There are 5 types of tequila:

Blanco (white) – clear, unaged tequila that is normally bottled right after it is distilled

Joven (gold) – This is Blanco tequila which has not been left to rest or mature but which colorants and flavorings such as caramel coloring, oak tree extracts glycerin or sugar syrup has been added prior to bottling

Reposado (aged) – This is the first level of aging and it is mandated that the tequila must remain in wood (most common is French oak or white oak) for a period of two months but no longer than 12 months

Añejo (extra aged) – The next level of aging is Añejo which means “vintage”, can only appear on bottles that contain tequila , aged in oak barrels having a minimum capacity of 600 liters, a minimum of one year and less than 3 years

Extra añejo (ultra aged) – This type of tequila has been aged for at least 3 years in direct contact with the wood of oak (holm or holm oak) or Encino oak containers with a maximum capacity of 600 liters.

In Mexico tequila is enjoyed neat and sipped slowly. Others choose take it as shot with salt and lime or enjoy cocktails made with tequila.

I will be indulging on Jose Cuervo Especial Gold tequila. Which ever you type or how you choose to enjoy tequila, please enjoy responsibly and in moderation
