The Wine Recommendations
Enlightenment Ales
Bière Brut
| Where | Lowell, Massachusetts, United States |
| Grape | Hops (of German and Czech origin) |
| Ag | Who knows |
| SO2 | None added |
| Price | $20 |
Made in champagne method, this hand-riddled beer has a delicate bubble, yet is rich and almost stout-like. A nano-brewery to watch.
Uncouth Vermouth
Serrano Chile Lavender
| Where | Brooklyn and surroundings, New York, United States |
| Grape | Botrytised riesling (from Red Hook Winery) |
| Ag | A great big mix but her heart is in organic ingredients |
| SO2 | None added, no additives |
| Price | $35 |
Bianca breaks the mold on vermouths with some super, wild entries. Three seasonal options, four times a year. This one has a beautiful burn and the slight whisper of Provence. Skillfully blended.
