Tasting - Apothic Chard

Name: Apothic Chard

Variety: Chardonnay

Region: California

Country: USA

Year: 2021

Price: $9.99






My Review: When I hear the words California and Chardonnay together, I think OAK. However, this wine was not particularly oaky. I picked up delicious notes of apple and vanilla. The apple could be giving it a slight citrus taste. Overall, this was very tasty and I enjoyed pairing it with my mac and cheese.




Tasting - Christmas Eve in a New York City Hotel Room Royal Suite Edition

Name: Christmas Eve in a New York City Hotel Room Royal Suite Edition

Brewery: Evil Twin Brewing

Price: $7.75


My Review: When I saw the name of this beer, I HAD to try it. I love NYC, so this conjures very fond memories of the city! It was a nice dark, stout with notes of marshmallow, vanilla, and chocolate. I really enjoyed it! Close your eyes and picture NYC!

 

Tasting - Jack Daniel's x Coca-Cola

 

Name: Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola

Liquor: Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey

Price: $18.99 for 4, 12 fl oz. cans


My Review: This collaboration was exactly what I expected it to be. It is perfect for a person who doesn't have the energy to mix their own drink! In all seriousness, this is a good drink if you want to try a new cocktail without a special trip to the liquor store or the bar. You can get a better version of this cocktail from an experienced bartender, but this is a decent drink for a first timer. It's not my favorite whiskey; however, this is a classic drink! Definitely worth a try!
