Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Here are our wine suggestions for a gift or to share and savor with your beloved on Valentine's Day.

Binny’s Home Bartender clears away the cobwebs from the pre-prohibition Brain Duster aka the Waldorf cocktail, a heady combo of rye, sweet vermouth, absinthe and bitters.

Ease your transition into Autumn with this recipe for roasted corn chowder with lobster. It pairs great with chardonnay or a Belgian Tripel.

It’s the spooky time of year, so it’s time to talk about Halloween beers and Halloween cocktails. A cocktail episode means that Greg and Pat get to hang out while Roger makes them cocktails. And Chris will make his own while spending way too much time crafting the garnish.

El Diablo cocktail, an unconventional blend of Tequila, Crème de Cassis, lime and ginger beer. It’s a surprisingly delicious cocktail recipe invented by Vic Bergeron aka Trader Vic. We use Añejo Tequila, Jules Theuriet Cassis and Fever Tree ginger beer.

Chardonnay is a versatile grape that can be grown almost anywhere by almost anyone. That means you can coax a wide variety flavors out of the grape. 

Who knew cocktails with black colored vodka could be so much fun? Our version of the screwdriver looks weird. Like, really weird. But it tastes exactly like the screwdriver you've sipped on in your 21+ life. Freak out your friends with this ghoulish cocktail. Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble.

With Halloween just around the corner, hopefully candy and costumes are covered, but what about the beer?

If witches had a favorite cocktail, this is what we imagine it would be. Our Black Raspberry Martini is full of jammy raspberry flavors and just the right amount of citrus and vanilla sweetness. This recipe is great to batch for festive get-togethers, or sip on while trick or treaters ring your door bell. *Cackles*

This cocktail is as basic as it gets. Our Pumpkin Old Fashioned is a fantastic mix of candy apple, cinnamon and fresh baked pie flavors. It's sweet, but not too sweet. This is one cocktail you'll want to serve up this fall. Best paired with furry boots and a plaid shirt.
