Why you should be drinking Champagne this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming up soon, and if your family is anything like ours, the whole evening is already being planned out, everyone is deciding what dishes they should bring, and what to drink. With so many different dishes being laid out, and realistically everyone eating whatever they want, what champagne will pair best with Thanksgiving dinner? Read below and check out a few of our suggestions.

 Champagne of course! It is the universal favorite, and a classic. Thanksgiving is a celebration and Champagne the end all be all when it comes to celebratory drinks. NASCAR drivers don’t pop bottles of Pinot Noir when they get first place, they pop Champagne. Yes that bubbly drink is the first choice of people who are enjoying life, which is why it pairs perfectly with a Thanksgiving Turkey, mashed potatoes, and any food baby you end up carrying by the end of the night. Plus just opening a bottle of Champagne has become an event of its own, fun for the full family, so long as you don’t hit anyone with the cork. If you need to know how to avoid shooting someone’s eye out this holiday season, here’s a guide to opening bottles of Champagne.

To be technical though all those bubbles really help with pairing Champagne with foods, they help keep the palate fresh and open to the food. Its light style makes going from a mouthful of stuffing to a sweet potato casserole, to cranberry sauce more enjoyable than it already is.  If you’re already looking at Champagnes just know that Champagnes may vary in sweetness and body, but as a general rule, a dry Brut is the safest bet. It’s typically highly acidic, tart, and refreshing, which means it’s the best palate cleanser you could possibly ask for.

Cielo

If you want to dress up your table, no bottle will look better than Sterling Vineyards.  Clad in silver and rose gold, theBlanc de Blancs and Sparkling Rosé from Sterling are ready to present at any seasonal soirée. Available individually for $28 at retailers nationwide, the chic twosome can also be purchased in a gift set, packaged in a sleek black linen box for $75. These bottles will dress up any table throughout the holidays

With the mad rush of menu and party planning, make things a little bit easier with advice from a Thanksgiving pro: Blake Leonard.  Blake Leonard is the daughter of Stew Leonard Jr., and the head of Wine Marketing for Stew’s Wines. While prepping: Blake suggests taking the edge off and finding yourself a little piece of heaven with Cielo Prosecco ($9.99). Cielo, which translates to heaven is Blake’s go-to drink this season. Drink on its own or pair with Aperol for a refreshing spritz.

Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial Rosé

While looking for a drink to go with dessert we recommend Closing out the evening with Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial Rosé (SRP $50), a demi-sec champagne to play off the sweetness of an assortment of pies

If you’re willing to splurge on a really nice aged bottle of Champagne you’ll really get to enjoy the more earthy and autumnal aspects of the drink, which is pretty fitting when you consider what Thanksgiving is all about. Only warning is that if you’re the one buying, and you want to have more than one glass you should knock the first one back quickly. Once you’ve opened a bottle of Champagne you never really need to worry about not finishing it.

Maschio Gummies

For those who want to try something different make your guests Prosecco Gummies, details below!

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Maschio Extra Dry Prosecco

• ½ Cup Sugar

• 3 Tablespoons or 6 packets gelatin

• 2-3 Wine Bottle (or gummy bear if you’d prefer) molds

• 1 cup cranberry juice for color and flavor

Instructions

1. Place the wine, sugar, cranberry and gelatin in a saucepan over medium low heat (if you want to keep the alcohol in, make sure to keep under 90 degrees). Whisk for 2-3 minutes or until sugar and gelatin have dissolved. (Stir in a little pink food coloring if making Rosé gummy bears)

2. Using a glass measuring cup with a spout, pour the mixture over the molds . Use an offset spatula to get rid of the excess and ensure all the molds are filled.

3. Refrigerate for at least 90 minutes.

4. When gelatin has set, bears will easily pop out from mold.

5. Store uneaten wine gummy bears in an airtight container in the refrigerator

How To Have The Perfect Home Bar

As Winter continues to bring us the cold, gone are the days of rooftop bars and to actually go out and brave the cold, what's one to do when you need a drink? You are now at your peak laziest, but you and your friends still want to get their drink on. Best part of Netflix & Chill is being able to make a drink at home without the fight for the bartender and keeping prices relatively low. Sure it’s great when friends decide to bring some over to share with you, but you wouldn’t be caught dead serving a bud light to others. Some of the things you need for a well-stocked bar are really the basics to so you can entertain your friends and yourself with adult drinks. Like your men, your home bar should be diversified, rather than 4 bottles of flavored vodka here is a list of essentials that should be a part of every home bar.

For The Health Nut

When planning on the essentials, the basic liquors are nice, but you're gonna need more than just an arsenal of alcohol to make the perfect drink. Sometimes you're looking for the perfect ingredient to stay (somewhat) healthy, add some Be-Mixed and your halfway there. This mix is - zero sugar, zero cal, all natural and they taste amazing! You can get these flavors in cucumber mint, ginger lime, and margarita.

Your Favorite Blended Malt

Sometimes you just need to show off to your friends. At $80 Usquaebach 15-Year-Old 'Pure' Malt may seem on the higher end but it's worth every drop, I mean cent. The great thing about whisky is at 86 proof it's only 70 calories, being one of the least in all alcohol. Who says you can't be skinny and drunk at the same time? Grabbing for a glass of whiskey is a must while the cold nights at home

Clear Corn Whiskey

What is a clear corn whiskey? Stillhouse Whiskey is
distilled to perfection from a proprietary mash bill of estate-grown corn, unlike novelty 'moonshine' brands on the market which is made from grain neutral spirit, these brands don’t go to the same lengths Stillhouse does to craft their six smooth expressions.

Stillhouse is packaged in a first-of-its-kind, daring red stainless steel can, taking whiskey where glass can't go. These tin canned concoctions are perfect for on the go or for your bar. With flavors like Apple Crisp, Peach Tea, Coconut, Mint Chip or Red Hot, you're destined to the perfect flavor for even the pickiest of guests.

Coffee With Your Tequila

You love tequila and you love coffee, Patron's XO Cafe gives the essence of fine coffee with your tequila making it the perfect go to for when you want something other than another margarita. The Patron XO Cafe is not only perfect on the rocks, but makes for a great mixer, and for those rough mornings, no one will know if you added a bit to your morning coffee. The coffee aroma will keep you up and give variety in your drink, perfect for an updated Irish Carbomb will keep the night going.

The Perfect Coaster

These Coasters from Hendrick's Gin are the perfect compliment for your home bar. No need to worry about your sloppy guests (we have a few) these eye catching coasters will show everyone exactly where to put their drinl. A uniques collaboration with Dempsey & Carroll creates a unique aesthetic. Yhe collection goes beyond coasters to include not only exquisitely designed correspondence cards, but also Stationary as you send invites to your new home bar. If you want something more personal, check out the custom coasters available at Jukeboxprint.

Fall Fashion Essentials for Men

By Peter Minkoff

As summer is coming to an end, it’s about time you started thinking about your fall wardrobe staples and ways to combine them in order to come up with some flawless clothing combos. However, if you still aren’t sure about what the fall fashion essentials are, just be sure to stay with us and keep on reading. Here are five of them you simply have to have this season! Stridewise is where I nurture a maniacal obsession with footwear and share my findings.

Quality wool trousers

As soon as fall arrives, you should definitely turn to a bit thicker fabrics like wool and corduroy. These are the best ones for crisp weather and lower temperatures typical for this season. Cotton can also be a great choice, even though it isn’t as comfortable and warm as wool. When picking appropriate trousers, one of the most important things is their cut. Slim cut is always a good idea, just make sure that your trousers aren’t too tight. As for the color, black, navy and grey are an amazing idea, as well as all shades of brown. Burgundy and deep green will work, too!

Shawl collar cardigan

This timeless item is pretty much everything a fashion-forward man needs to own, so make sure to get a shawl collar cardigan for an upcoming season. As its name suggests, the high shawl collar is what characterizes this piece and makes it what it is – a staple for cold weather. Such cardigan will definitely help you feel warm and cozy. Apart from that, it’s trendy, stylish and just a little bit nerdy, and you know what? Girls really dig that, so don’t skip it this fall!

A rain jacket

The season we’re about to enter is well-known for its unpredictable weather, so don’t let it fool you and be prepared no matter what. Getting a rain jacket is an absolute must, so be sure to pick one that perfectly combines function with a fine design. Such piece will help you stay dry on a rainy day without looking like a tourist lost in space, which is exactly why you should look for brands that provide both protection from the rain and stylish designs. Make sure that the jacket you’re about to get is 100 percent waterproof, and you won’t make a mistake with it!

Fashionable accessories

No outfit is complete without proper accessories, and that’s the case with fall clothing combos, too. A trendy umbrella is always a good idea, especially when matched with the rest of your outfit. However, we can all agree that it maybe isn’t even necessary if you decide to get a rain jacket. Ties made from wool blends are a fantastic choice if formal attire is your everyday choice, as well as patterned pocket squares. Apart from these, you can never go wrong with a statement wrist watch. These simply scream class, so get some quality watches online ASAP!

Smart boots

If there’s something that can keep you safe from the rain, apart from a rain jacket (obviously), it’s a pair of smart boots. Quality footwear will keep you warm and protected from rain and snow later on, so be sure to get the best boots you can find. Apart from providing more coverage than an average pair of shoes, these are also highly versatile – you can wear them both in casual and in formal occasions, and even in combination with suits! Matte leather is one of the most convenient choices when it comes to fall, whereas black, gray and chocolate brown are fantastic in terms of color selection.

As you can see, each of these four pieces, alongside with appropriate accessories, is absolutely essential when it comes to this season. These will allow you to stay warm and cozy while being really fashionable at the same time, so get them as soon as possible and rock your fall outfits like a pro!
