Binny's Blog

This week on Barrel to Bottle, check out five Beaujolais from the 2020 vintage that prove it's a great summer wine.

Head to Beaujolais with the Binny's wine team as Alicia and Chris take you on a journey through the region.

Beaujolais is fresh, fruity, and festive. Beaujolais is an every night delight, priced right. Beaujolais is gravitas and a true expression of terroir. Beaujolais is conviviality; the tie that binds friends, old and new. Beaujolais is family, food, and fun. Most of all, Beaujolais is for sharing, on your best days and every day. 

Join Binny's Wine Educator Alicia B. and Binny's own Guru of the Grape Chris S. for an informative look at this special region!

Travel with us for a few minutes to Beaujolais. Settled in the rolling hills just south of Burgundy, it’s a region immensely appreciated by a few (mostly those who work in wine) and undiscovered (or misunderstood) by many.

A crisp, tart, and refreshing twist on the classic daiquiri, famously enjoyed by writer Ernest Hemingway. Unlike the traditional version, this cocktail swaps out sugar for maraschino liqueur, balancing the bright acidity of fresh lime and grapefruit juice with a hint of sweetness. A timeless favorite that delivers a bold yet smooth citrusy kick, perfect for warm weather sipping.

The Gold Standard sets the bar for excellence. The heavy combo of sugarcane spirits creates a golden hue, and the fresh lime and syrup adds sweet and citrus flavors. Move over Mai Tai, we have a new rumtastic cocktail in house.
