    Comments Off on Lost In Germany (Slight Return)

    Not long ago, we were visited by our regional rep for Robert Weil, an incredible winery from the Rheingau in Germany.  I’ve been a big fan of these wines for a long time, and it was good to see where they are now, now being represented by Loosen Bros. in the U.S.

    I’ve been a fan of Robert Weil for some time.  So long I honestly can’t remember just how long it’s been.

    Comments Off on Discoveries at the Jungle Beverage Month: Hawaiian Sun Soft Drinks and Teas from Hawaii and Mezzo Mix Orange Cola from Germany
    The world of beverages is certainly an interesting one. We, as humans, need to drink every day to survive. Of course water is always the best choice, but as long as history goes back there have been millions of ways people have been making their drinking a little more fun. From purification, to pasteurisation, juicing, infusing, carbonating, fermenting, distilling, mixing, and more, we have made a plethora of beverages that you probably wouldn’t have enough time in your life to even scratch the surface trying.

    Comments Off on Why I Get Up In The Morning

    ​There are days, like most of us face, you know the ones – mundane, tedious, monotonous days that won’t seem to end, those staring-at-the-clock-as-if-the-hands-of-Time-have-swallowed-some-powerful-paralytic-and-each-nanosecond-has-become-an-eternity-of-its-own moments, and the day at work becomes a millennium of elongated repetition of meetings, orders and dumpster fires. Fortunately, I am oft-reminded of how good I have it here at JJ’s Eastgate every time someone comes in with Champagne.

    Recently, we got a visit from Aurelie “Lily” Baetche from Dourthe USA,

  • Beer Department: What is Lupulin Powder?

    Comments Off on Beer Department: What is Lupulin Powder?
    Hops! These delicious little green cones of flavor have been the dominant bittering agent in virtually all beer for the last 600 years or so. First described botanically by Roman statesman Pliny the Elder, he named the plant Humulus lupulus, taking the species name from the Latin word for wolf. This was a nod to Pliny’s observation that, in the wild, hop bines tended to snake through existing foliage, moving among them like a wolf among sheep. Read article

  • Lemon Baked Ricotta – Sweet, Delicate, Delicious

    Comments Off on Lemon Baked Ricotta – Sweet, Delicate, Delicious
    ​The perfect summer dessert? Maybe, just maybe, it is…

    The cake like consistency makes it the perfect after dinner snack, and the lemon flavor absolutely tastes like summer. It comes from the Puglia region of Italy, and is special because of the buffalo milk whey that’s used to produce it. It gives it the richest and most savory taste imaginable. 

    I like to serve this treat a couple of different ways.

  • Frankie V’s Kitchen – August 2017 Hot Sauce of the Month

    Comments Off on Frankie V’s Kitchen – August 2017 Hot Sauce of the Month
    ​This month, we’re highlighting some of our favorites hot sauces to share with those who think they don’t like hot sauce. Much like craft beer, we like to think there’s a hot sauce for everyone – it’s just a matter of finding the one’s the speak to you! 

    With that in mind, we have a few options, but we felt like Frankie V’s Kitchen offered a great opportunity for us to talk about depth of flavor and varieties of heat at the same time.
