Finally! Added this to the library as it was gifted to me! Hopefully one day will distribute in Indiana. ❤️🥃
Tasting bottles is always an honor and a pleasure (and yes, it IS work). But being able to connect with the winery and winemaker on a more intimate level is what really means the most to us. We have been reviewing wines since 2011 and we treasure the moments when we get to taste a lineup in person or virutally. We spent the evening with Dave Specter of Bells Up Winery the other evening and this is how it went........

It’s National Pinot Noir 🍷 Day! We celebrated early the other day by tasting 4 uniquely creative Pinot Noir from Bells Up Winery of Newberg, Oregon. What’s in your galas on this Sunday Funday?

Unique. Earthy. Special. Check out our thoughts on this Jeptha Creed 4-Grain Straight Bourbon featuring Blood Butcher Corn.
The mash bill is 70% BBC, 15% malted rye, 10% malted wheat and 5% malted barley, resulting in some really distinct flavors.

Great to meet “thee” Jeff Clark, James “Jimmy’s MM Pick” Miller and the rest of the team at a recent bourbon tasting at Noble Wine & Spirits in Marion, Indiana. Exciting news about their sponsored WhiskeyFest unveiled and all that their team is putting together for such an exciting event! Their team is not only the friendliest of the spirits bunch, but extremely knowledgeable and connected with their loyal followers and those wanting more insight about bourbon, wine and scotch. “Mutt’s” favorite of the evening was trying a few different products, with his top selection being the “Jimmy’s Pick” store pick (very few bottles remain). They passed along great MSRP pricing on their Batch 2 Eagle Rare store picks and even a right-to-buy raffle for some Stagg 24A as well. These folks are nothing short of fantastic!

A solid pour. Sometimes that’s all you need. One that doesn’t let you down, doesn’t break the bank, plays well with others in cocktails and may even enjoy an ice cube. That’s what you get with the Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. No bell’s and whistles. Just a solid pour and well worth keeping on your bar.
