We are excited to be hosting Brattleboro-based Vermont Vermouth for this Friday's tasting at Pierce's Store from 4pm to 6pm. We'll be sampling some outstanding vermouths which are great for sipping on their own or as amazing complements to cocktails.
What exactly is vermouth, you ask? It is wine that has been fortified with brandy (a fortified wine, in this case, 15.5% ABV, the equivalent to a robust Cabernet) that has been steeped in special herbs and spices. We will learn more from Kobey Shwayder, the founder of Vermont Vermouth. Unlike traditional vermouth makers who jealously guard their secrets, Kobey is transparent about his process.
We'll be exploring four vermouths, the citrusy dry Zephyr, the floral rosé Thalia, the golden bittersweet Phoebus and the robust caramel Boreas. They are each delicious on their own, and exceptional cocktail ingredients.
This tasting celebrates Pierce's recent receipt of a fortified wine license, which means it can now sell fortified wines at the same price as Hannaford’s or any other 802 Spirits outlet.
Here's an article about Kobey from Seven Days: https://www.sevendaysvt.com/food-drink/vermont-vermouth-puts-local-spin-on-a-classic-cocktail-staple-32343934.
So please join us for a lively session that will stimulate the taste buds and lead us into the Easter festivities.
Salud,
Sandy
