Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey is now a brand that very much stands out. This company surged over 200% last year and it is a favorite for various consumers. Proper No. Twelve on social media (@properwhiskey) has the highest following of any wine, spirit, or champagne brand.

This whiskey is not your typical grain-only Irish whiskey. It is a blend of golden grain and single malt resulting in a smooth and approachable taste with hints of vanilla, honey-like sweetness, and toasted wood. It is also an affordable and accessible quality at only $24.99 per bottle! Each time you purchase some Proper No. Twelve bottles, you are giving back to the people who need it most. For each case that is sold, $5 are donated to First Responder organizations around the world, up to $1 million are donated every year.

What To Drink This National Red Wine Day

Wednesday, August 28th is National Red Wine Day. While not the go-to for end of Summer, it’s always good to have on hand, and pairs perfectly with bbq. To celebrate the holiday we’re putting our white wine aside and celebrating with a nice bottle of a delicious vino? Here are some to try.

H3 Wines 

In preparation for National Red Wine Day H3 Wines has launched as a new brand with a new look featuring a beautiful new Pegasus wings label symbolizing the brand’s roots in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA in eastern Washington. As we look to celebrate red wine and shift from summer to fall, this new fantastic selection of reds, including a bold, beloved cabernet, silky red blend and a deep merlot, are perfect for any safe celebration. And, for those who enjoy their wine a little lighter, H3 has you covered with the first vintage of H3 Rosé, a crisp rosé made with a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Rhone varietals.

All priced under $15, these wines are fitting for a variety of occasions. Learn more at H3wines.com and order from several retailers including, Drizly, Wine.com, Vivino, Target, Walmart and others.

Stags’ Leap Winery 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Expressive and inviting, with a bouquet of wild blackberry and fresh black currant fruit alongside delicate floral notes of geranium and violet, with warmer notes of caramel, sweet cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper spice coming through from the oak integration. Great fireside sip as the weather cools down; pairs nicely with a juicy steak.

DiNotte Red Blend

The newest addition to the Mezzacorona portfolio, DiNotte expresses the aromatic richness of two native varieties that thrive on the foothills of the Dolomites mountain range in northern Italy: Teroldego (70%) and Marzemino (15%). A small amount of Merlot (15%) is added. With notes of plum and  blackberry with a hint of cocoa and vanilla, this full-bodied, lushly textured wine makes it the ideal pairing for grilled steak, barbecue ribs and pork chops.

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Claret

The ultra premium Claret, sports a label that honors the first Cabernet Sauvignon blended in a Bordeaux style by Gustave Niebaum in 1910. Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavors of wild berries, plum and anise. Borrowing tradition of European wineries, we add gold netting to bottle to signify outstanding quality of wine.

INTRINSIC Red Blend 

The perfect wine to drink with dinner and pizzas thanks to its easy sipping. It’s a blend of 51% Malbec, 49% Cabernet Franc and pairs with everything from veggies to meats.

Top Five Best New York City Coffee Shops

Caroline Fiske

Ahhh coffee… Where do I even begin with describing my all-time favorite beverage? Well, first of all, it wakes me up in the morning, and second of all, an iced caramel latte tastes incredible. So why not combine my favorite drink and my favorite place into one fabulous article? Everyone, I am proud to present the top five coffee shops where New Yorkers can get your “Central Perk” on! 

Grounded

Tucked in a very homey and cozy spot in the West Village, “Grounded” is the coffee place that will make you feel welcome. It is a relaxing place for you to get your work done, catch up with your loved ones, read a book, or just simply get a cup of coffee. If you are in the lighter food or drink mood, they also have smoothies and sandwiches. So the next time you are in the West Village, be sure to stop by “Grounded.”

Third Rail Coffee

This rustic coffee shop is an NYU student go-to spot for studying, chatting, dates, a hangout spot before catching a movie at the IFC Center, and of course, for coffee. From their classic coffee drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos, to their scrumptious baked goods like scones, “Third Rail Coffee” has everything that your cafe heart desires! Their coffee drinks are made with sweet Battenkill Dairy Farm milk so you know you are getting the best local ingredients served into your cup of coffee.

Coffee Project NY

This project started in none other than the East Village. They also have locations in both Queens and Brooklyn. If coffee is streaming in your blood veins like it is in mine, then this is the perfect place for you! From their nitro flights to their “deconstructed latte” (an espresso shot with a cup of milk served with a latte and a waffle cookie), “Coffee Project NY” is every coffee lover’s dream in one store.

Everyman Espresso

Located at Park Slope and 5th Avenue, “Everyman Espresso” has high-quality coffee that will wake you right up. Yes, they have your typical Starbucks and Dunkin coffee drink options, but they also have their very own unique options as well. One of their most well-known drinks is their “Panacea” which is espresso with lemon and honey ginger bitters.

Sawada Coffee

This place is very popular for their latte art. This example above is just one of the many incredible designs that you can get on your drink. The vibe in this coffee shop has a “skater aesthetic” serving artistic homemade drinks founded by owner Hiroshi Sawada. They also serve matcha based drinks so if you’re not a huge fan of coffee don’t worry!

Words cannot espresso how much coffee means to me. So get ready to have a Brew-tiful day by going to these New York City coffee shops!

ABERFELDY And Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) Launch 'Gardening Giveback Project' To Encourage Urban Beekeeping

ABERFELDY Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the whisky known around the world as the 'Golden Dram,' recently announced the launch of its 'Gardening Giveback Project' in collaboration with Bee Informed Partnership (BIP), a national, non-profit organization dedicated to working with beekeepers across the country to improve honey bee colony health and increase colony survivorship.

Over the last decade, 1 in 3 managed honey bee colonies have been lost each year as a result of stressors like pests, pathogens, pesticides and poor nutrition due in part to habitat loss. Although dedicated beekeepers have been able to stabilize the U.S. honey bee population by splitting healthy colonies to make up for the continued losses, mortality rates remain high. In order to keep the U.S. honey bee population stable, it is crucial that everyone does their part in giving back to the bees and the professionals who care for them.

Kicking off just in time for National Honey Bee Day and continuing throughout National Honey Month in September, the Gardening Giveback Project builds upon ABERFELDY's commitment to relieving the plight of honey bees via its Barrels and Bees program – an initiative that supports local beekeepers by partnering with them to feature their honey as the main ingredient in signature cocktails. Famed for its rich honey notes resulting from the patient process of longer fermentation, ABERFELDY's richness can be accentuated in honey-based cocktails, creating a unique connection between the whisky and the precious natural resource.

"So much of ABERFELDY's story is rooted in its honeyed richness, making honey itself a perfect ingredient for many of our cocktails," said Aleco Azqueta, Brand Director Single Malts at BACARDI.  "We created the Barrels and Bees program to help support local beekeepers and protect these tiny creatures who do so much for our environment, especially given recent data showing some of the highest mortality rates on record. We're proud to be able to introduce the Gardening Giveback Project this year, as it provides ABERFELDY with another opportunity to drive awareness for this cause we are so passionate about."

Through the Gardening Giveback Project, ABERFELDY and BIP are empowering beekeepers and bartenders across eight cities in the United States (Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Miami, Florida; Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; San Francisco, California) to plant and maintain community garden-style bee sanctuaries by growing flowers, herbs and vegetables in dual purpose: to foster a healthy environment for bees while also cultivating ingredients that can be used in cocktails. The locally grown ingredients like basil, mint and honey will be used in a brand new, celebratory cocktail dubbed the ABERFELDY "Herbed Honey Smash," which can be purchased and enjoyed from a safe, social distance at various accounts within each city. ABERFELDY has also committed a $10,000 donation to BIP to help support local beekeepers in their research, education and communication efforts to improve honey bee health and sustainability.

"As the single most important pollinator to agriculture, honey bees are a vital component in ensuring we have access to high quality, nutritious fruits, vegetables, and nuts," Says Geoff Williams, President of Bee Informed Partnership. "We definitely appreciate ABERFELDY supporting our mission and are really excited to help bring the Gardening Giveback Project to life."

For consumers who want to support the cause but aren't located in one of the eight regions, ABERFELDY is offering a limited-edition, farmer's market-style cocktail crate on ReserveBar.com that is comprised of the ingredients needed to create the Herbed Honey Smash at home. Customers will receive a bottle of ABERFELDY 12, seeds to plant their own garnishes that can double as forage, honey bear glassware, tasting spoons, a tasting tray and three different flavors of honey harvested by "The Native Guy" Nick Bofill, who maintains hives on top of Bacardi's North American headquarters in Miami and is a participating beekeeper in the project. Additionally, customers who purchase the cocktail crate will be provided with exclusive access to a virtual whisky and honey pairing hosted by BACARDI North American Malts Ambassador Holly Seidewand and Mr. Bofill on Thursday, September 17th. The limited-edition cocktail crate will be available for purchase on ReserveBar.com in time for National Honey Bee Day and lasting throughout National Honey Month this September for $45.

For more than 100 years, tennis fans around the world have flocked to Queens, NY to watch the sport’s best players compete in the iconic US Open tournament.

Discover The Wines of New York

Jessica N. Todmann

New York heralds a rich and lengthy wine history, and continues to maintain strong relevancy as a wine producing area, coming third in place behind California and Washington state. The country’s first bonded winery was founded here in New York, and the oldest operating winery in America is housed in New York as well.

Now, New York wine country boasts seven official wine regions, along with several additional subregions. There are more than 1600 family vineyards and over 400 wineries throughout New York, with the wine (and grape) industry generating “more than $4.8 billion in economic benefits annually for New York State.” 

For those unfamiliar with the history of wine production, that says a lot. Evidence accounts for winemaking in ancient cultures dating back as far as 6,000 B.C. and New York’s community of wine producers continue adding onto this centuries old tradition.

If you’re interested in discovering some of the wines New York has to offer, here are a few New York wineries you should know:

Brotherhood Winery

The Brotherhood Winery was established in 1839, and is America’s oldest winery. Located in Washingtonville, New York, Brotherhood is less than an hour and a half from New York City, and welcomes guests for tours, tastings and live music. If you have a special occasion on the horizon, such as a wedding, birthday party or corporate gathering, the Grand Salon can accommodate. The 19th century space offers a charming setting with a deeply historic backdrop, making it the ideal destination for any memorable event. 

One Woman Wines & Vineyards

The name behind Claudia Purita’s Long Island winery is literal. An Italian native, she grew up on her family's farm and has brought the values learned to her vineyards. “Her Story” illustrates a woman who’s attentive to the smallest details, patient and willing to go above and beyond for the sake of quality. Out of that perseverance came an array of wines, with selections for those who favor red, white or pink. While her wines are available for purchase online, One Woman Wines also has a tasting room with nine wines available for tasting and seven reserve wines for purchase. 

Red Hook Winery

The Red Hook Winery opened in 2008 and since then, their focus has truly been on bringing New York wines to consumers. They produce all of their wines “from grape to bottle” at their urban winery on Pier 41 and sell a host of options for wine lovers to sip on- like orange wines and unique red and white blends. This winery has received quite a bit of media coverage, and perhaps for good reason. Celine Bossart recounts her visit for Edible Brooklyn: “there’s something that Red Hook Winery brings to the table that’s very different from the others in its class: whereas the typical négociant tends to keep the spotlight in one place (on itself), a sharing-is-caring approach is more their style.” Red Hook Winery is now open for outdoor seating and wine tastings, which you can book in advance on their website. Visit! 

Ben Ish Winery 

Ben Ish Winery is only one of less than a handful of wineries located in Brooklyn. The company only offers dry red wines that are kosher, and carry Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. Currently, all of their wines are out of stock; which makes sense, as the winery has won several wine making competitions in the past. Perfect for those that like to stay indoors, Ben Ish Winery delivers throughout the five boroughs, as well as the Five Towns section of Long Island and Monsey, located in Rockland County, NY. Check out their testimonials page to hear from previous satisfied customers.

Loulou (176 8th Avenue) in Chelsea will offer $1 oysters and has 15 tables available for dining al fresco from 5pm - 11pm. You can also enjoy their large selection of craft cocktails, wine and beer in addition to classic French dishes.
