The reason you should skip premade sour mix for cocktails
Tasting Table
Making cocktails is a great way to get creative in the kitchen: There are endless variations to try, and even if you fail, your guests will probably still enjoy consuming the results. However, that doesn't mean that you're down to ruin a bottle of quality liquor with cheap ingredients. One of the quickest and easiest ways to ruin a drink is to use premade sour mix.

Do Pinot Noir blends exist?
VinePair
Pinot Noir is seldom known to share the spotlight. Aside from accompanying Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay in Champagnes, it’s rarely blended in still wines. Other grapes like Zinfandel, Merlot and Shiraz often make an appearance in red blends — why doesn’t Pinot Noir play well with others?

What is a boilermaker?
Wine Enthusiast
A boilermaker is about as simple as a cocktail gets. Traditionally, a boilermaker is defined as a shot of liquor, usually whiskey, served alongside or sometimes in a beer. It remains a very popular drink, thanks in part to the infinite pairing possibilities between whiskey and beer styles.

Will tradition prevent the wine industry from embracing sustainability?
VinePair
Mailynh Phan writes, "Here’s what I know when it comes to going green in the wine industry: What has come to be expected is simply unsustainable. In the American wine industry, higher-priced wines are generally put in heavier glass bottles topped with foil capsules. This is what wine-buying baby boomers with deep pockets expect — or at least what the industry believes they want."

2 coastal California wine regions finally get their official due
The Washington Post
Mention wine country and we tend to think of valleys. Northern California has Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Alexander and Anderson valleys, the Russian River Valley and the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley, just to name a few. Oregonians go rogue when they need a change of pace from the more famous Willamette Valley, and Washingtonians can gorge themselves on wine from the Columbia Valley.

California: Looser rules for to-go cocktails pass state senate, food requirement might be nixed
SFist
That pesky “bona fide” meal requirement for to-go cocktails could be 86’ed under proposed revisions to California’s carry-out cocktail rules, as the state senate just unanimously approved an expansion of legal to-go booze sales.
