Bar Gift Guide 2020
Whether you’re a wine lover or just a social wine drinker, you may want to read this post! You can purchase cheap bottles or the most expensive, but no matter what type you like, it’s important to buy from someone that cares about the actual product. Croatian Premium Wine is made from, well, obviously, Croatia. Quality is very important to them and I’m glad they sent me some. I received Volarevic Plavac Mali Rose La Chic, Komarna 7 Plavac Mali, and Terra Madre Posip Premium, all vintage 2018. Now, let me first say that I’m certainly no expert when it comes to describing the taste of wine, but it is my opinion. They were very dry with small notes of various fruits. I mean, isn’t that with most wines, but I’ll explain in more detail below.
With the holiday fast approaching, it means time with family and friends time of get-togethers. Our family loves to have a drink here and there, and getting together is when they would, Some like their beer and others like there wine and then there are ones who love a hard liqueur from time to time.
My dad and uncles always had some kind of drink together, no matter where or whos house they had that drink together, Recently I came across Tom Of Finland Vodka, and right away I thought they would have loved tasting this.
A bold but yet smooth, this super-premium vodka, 40% abv is a super-premium vodka artistically crafted in Finland from the finest organically grown wheat, rye, and pure arctic water.
Bold yet smooth, Tom of Finland Organic Vodka is full of character, where the spiciness of the rye is balanced by the softness of wheat and arctic water.No burn whatsoever, the first sip coats your mouth with a silky smooth oiliness. Vanilla cream soda leads to a crescendo of spice that hints at cracked black pepper with wonderful star anise overtones
Singani 63 has a shimmery appearance, a medium-weight, lushly textured body and an enticing floral bouquet with light spicy notes. The longer you let it breathe, the more intense and alluring the aromatics become. The smooth, warm entry quickly bathes the palate with dry herbaceous flavors that soon give way to the long, spicy, fresh citrus fade. From start to finish, Singani 63 is a holiday for the senses. Kudos!”
This is a great drink for people who are passainate about tasting new and exciting things, my uncle has tasted both of these and says they both have different flavors and aromas to them. Neither of them burns going down and have a great taste.
When it comes to my family, we try and get together as much as possible. Family means everything to us and when we have a chance we try and head home as much as we can.
Keeping the bar stocked for when the family does come it is a must, they all have different tastes and likes. As a child and teen, my dad and uncles always shared a drink together. It didn’t matter whose house they had to sit and talk and have a drink together. My dad and uncles always had whiskey and coke, daddy had a whiskey and 7up. I can remember their drinks like it was yesterday.
Recently I had the chance to try Rogue spirits, an 80 proof single malt whiskey. I can say it was a smooth tasting whiskey going down. This is crafted from the same exact malts as the ale is. This is aged for 2 years and gives dark cocoa, coffee and caramel tones to it.

When we were growing up, family get-togethers were always the best times. Every holiday we would go to someone’s home to celebrate with family. Christmas time my mom and aunt would be baking away and the house would smell so good.
The men had their own traditions going on, they would have a drink together, no matter where or whose house they had a drink together, whiskey and coke was my dad and uncle’s favorite drink.
Recently I was able to try out Black Crow Vodka, Black Cow is the only vodka made entirely from grass-grazed cows milk, which results in an exceptionally smooth vodka with a unique creamy character. Black Cow is easily sipped at room temperature. Perfect in any long drink or cocktail
Grandaddy Mimm’s Moonshine is a craft distiller based in Blairsville, Georgia. While many companies jumped on the moonshine bandwagon, very few have a story like Grandaddy Mimm’s. Jack “Mimm” McClure was a notorious moonshiner in Northeast Georgia from the 30s through the 60s. When it became legal to make white whiskey – or moonshine – Mimm’s grandson, Tommy Townsend, used his grandfather’s recipes to make Grandaddy Mimm’s Moonshine.To date, there are nine products produced using Mimm’s exact recipes…only legally and under controlled conditions!One thing some people don’t realize is you can make just about any mixed drink using moonshine, such as a margarita, cosmopolitan, mule, bloody mary, etc have you ever tried moonshine, I have and it’s like something I have never tasted before, tastes good going down?
