Introducing Lucid Absinthe Superieure. Lucid represents a breakthrough product for the U.S. market, as it is the first true, Grande Wormwood based Absinthe of its type since before prohibition. Unlike imitators in the U.S. and many of the so called Absinthe products that litter the international markets, lucid is crafted directly from select whole herbs, including Grande Wormwood, and never from cheaper assemblages, macerations, extracts or oils.

## Categories of Beer: Ales and Lagers

Enjoying a cold beer on a hot sunny day is considered to be one of life’s simplest pleasures. As one of the oldest drinks in the world, there seem to be endless brewers of beer with an infinite number of choices for consumers. Diving into the world of beer, all beers fall into the two categories of Ales and Lagers. 

## Lagers
Lager is the most widely consumed type of beer worldwide. Characterized by its light, refreshing, and crisp taste, it's no surprise that Lagers are the most consumed beer worldwide. Usually lighter in color and highly carbonated, lagers are best enjoyed cold. Whether it's a Summer BBQ, game day with friends, or a night out, a lager is a go-to drink for many. 

The fermentation process of lagers takes longer to complete than ales because they ferment in cooler temperatures. Lagers also tend to have a crisper and cleaner taste than ales.  Long-standing staples like Budweiser, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, and Corona are included in this category. 

## Ales
Ales are brewed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is a yeast that ferments throughout the beer. Ales typically ferment at a more quickly process. Ales have a high tolerance for alcohol and are known for having richer and more complex flavors than lagers.  Ales come in many different forms with styles consisting of IPAs, Blonde Ales, English Pale Ales, American Ales, American Amber Ales, Sours, Stouts and more. 

## IPAs
IPA beer, or India Pale Ale, is a broader categorization of Pale Ale within the beer family. Originating in Great Britain, IPAs come in a variety of styles but are commonly known for the fruity flavors found in hops. Today, IPAs are some of the most brewed craft beers in America and have continued to explode in popularity. As a favorite among the craft beer enthusiasts, people gravitate towards its complexity in flavor and balanced bitterness.

## Sour Ales
Sour ales are brewed with wild yeast and bacteria to help provide them with high levels of acidity. The acidity gives the beer a tart and sour flavor as opposed to the bitter flavors you usually taste in other ales. Many brewers also add fruits and spices to wild ales to give them a sweet, fruity profile.

## Stouts
Stouts are well-known for their dark color and thick, creamy head. They feature a heavily roasted flavor that comes from unmalted roasted barley that is added to the wort. Stouts often contain hints of coffee, chocolate, licorice, or molasses which makes this beer unique and great.

# Wine 101

Some of the earliest found remnants of wine date all the way back to 5000 B.C. with it often being featured in ancient myths, fables, and stories that have been passed down for generations. However the drink itself is quite simple, wine is made from fermented grape juice which is differentiated by the vast variety of grapes. Let's step through five types of wine to choose for delivery. 

## Sauvignon Blanc 

Pronunciation: soh-vi-nyohn blahngk 
Alcohol Content: 10%–13.5% ABV
What To Pair It With: fish, herb sauces, green vegetables
Description: Light, dry white wines – like sauvignon blanc – are some of the most-sold wines in the world and are usually characterized as crisp and refreshing, with less ‘sweetness’ than a semi-dry white wine. Sauvignon blanc typically features simple flavors that include citrus fruits, kiwi, and honeydew melon and a tart, herbaceous quality (green pepper, mint, grass).

The grape is a signature of New Zealand wines, but it’s also a major player in France, Italy, Australia, Chile, and South Africa. Sauvignon blanc is an ideal wine to sip on in the summer months. Most sauvignon blanc wines drink best when they’re relatively young. Surprisingly good bottles can be had for less than $10.


## Chardonnay

Pronunciation: shar-doh-nay
Alcohol Content: 13.5%–15% ABV
What To Pair It With: mild cheeses, shellfish, chicken, fruity desserts
Description: Full-bodied wines are characterized by being rich, complex, and well-rounded.  Chardonnay boasts a distinctive buttery aroma, velvety feel, and a delightfully complex flavor profile thanks to being aged in oak barrels. b

Tasting notes for chardonnays include apple, pear, yellow citrus, tropical fruits, and often touches of butterscotch, bourbon, vanilla, or toasted caramel. Chardonnays contain a moderate alcohol percentage and are best paired with richer flavors.

This variety of white features heavily in the wine production of California, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and South America. You can expect to spend $10-$40 on a good bottle.

## Pinot Noir

Pronunciation: pee-noh nwar
Alcohol Content: 11.5%–15% ABV
What To Pair It With: duck, salmon, pork, veal, nutty cheeses
Description: Pinot noir is a popular red variety with soft tannins. Tannins are a group of bitter and astringent compounds that exist naturally in vegetation, including in the skin, seeds, and stems of grapes. Whereas white wines only use the juice from grapes, whole grapes are used in the production of red wine, which is why red wines can be tannic. Without nerding out on tannins and their place in wine-making and wine flavor, just understand that too many tannins can cause a poor mouthfeel and result in a dry bitter taste that isn’t pleasant especially if it’s not balanced with a ton of fruit flavor.

Pinot noir grapes feature thinner skins and therefore have fewer tannins, allowing other flavors to shine. Pinot noir, in particular, expresses tons of red fruit flavor and oaky overtones. This is an “off-dry” or “semi-dry” wine, meaning it has slightly more sweetness than a dry wine but not enough to make it a syrupy dessert drink. In other words, you don’t have to be a hardcore red wine aficionado to enjoy it, meaning this type of wine is a safe bet to choose when you’re ordering for people with no firm stance on what type they prefer.

Pinot noir is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world and a hard one to master. First planted in France, it is now also widely planted in California, Washington, Oregon, Germany, and New Zealand. Pinot noir pairs especially well with red meats and other rich, textured foods like cheese. The average price for pinot noir can be higher than other varieties, but that hasn’t stopped it from cultivating legions of fans and becoming one of the most romanticized reds in the world.

## Merlot:

Pronunciation: mehr-loh
Alcohol Content: 13.5%–15% ABV
Pair It With: poultry, roasted vegetables, rustic dishes and comfort foods like pizza, pasta, and BBQ
Description: Merlot is one of the more popular varieties of red wine and a great type of wine for beginners to choose. Merlots are loved for their cherry flavors and chocolatey finish. A step-down from ‘full-bodied’, merlots are well balanced in flavor, featuring medium levels of tannins and thus pair with almost anything. This is easy, entry-level drinking.

Merlot grapes are cultivated in France, Italy, South Africa, various countries in Eastern Europe and South America, as well as the United States. Pro tip: don’t break the bank buying this one – go for the under-$20 bottles.

## Malbec:

Pronunciation: maal-bek
Alcohol Content: 13.5%–15% ABV
Pair It With: lean red meats, steak, “funky” cheeses, umami flavors
Description: Known for its juicy rich fruit flavors and smoky finish, Malbec is a full-bodied red packed with flavor and has exploded in popularity over recent decades. Malbec goes down well with or without food but is another excellent dinner choice as it pairs particularly nicely with full-flavored foods like lean red meats like lamb chops and steaks, sharp cheeses and creamy mushroom sauces.

The grape got its start in France before finding a new home in Argentina, yielding two variations of Malbec with distinct differences. French Malbec is savory and tart with firmer tannins. Argentinian varieties tend to be bolder, plummy and fruit-forward. Both malbecs are dry and rich, yet easy to drink and unpretentious. You can find introductory bottles in the $12-$20 range and more advanced bottles for $20-$50.

## Pinot Grigio:

Pronunciation: pee-noh gree-jo
Alcohol Content: 10%–15% ABV
Pair It With: Seafood, pasta with creamy sauces, fresh vegetables, and salads
Description: If you’re only stocking one white, make it this crowd-pleaser.

Pinot Grigio (in Italy) or pinot gris (in France) is simple, light-bodied, dry and crisp with zesty notes of green apple and citrus. Though it’s far from the most complex wine out there, it’s easy on the palate and supremely drinkable with or without food.

Ready to indulge in a glass? Since you’re hosting the party, you’ll want to make sure you serve your wine correctly. Some are best chilled, some best room temperature. Here, serve the wine slightly chilled to make it the perfect refreshment on a hot summer day. If you have a variety of glass shapes to serve with, a pinot grigio does best in a vessel with a slender, U-shaped bowl that captures its delicate aromas and maintains a cooler temperature.

Pinot grigio is produced in countries all over the world, including France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and the west coast of the United States. Pick up bottles in the $15 to $20 range.

## Cabernet Sauvignon:

Pronunciation: kab-er-nay soh-vi-nyohn
Alcohol Content: 13.5%–15% ABV
Pair It With: rich meats like rib roasts and fatty steaks, roasted potatoes, flavorful sauces
Description: Every person needs a respectable red in his collection for those nights when he’s or she's treating a loved one to some homemade steak. A cabernet sauvignon, or ‘cab’ as its affectionately referred to, is that red. Cabs are dry, full-bodied with bold tannins and bountiful flavor. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are aged in oak barrels, a process that gives this wine notes of vanilla and chocolate in addition to a strong fruit component dominated by dark berries.

The flavor profile of an individual cabernet sauvignon will depend on its place of origin – famously France and California, but also South Australia, Chile, Argentina, and South Africa. Great bottles can be had in the $25 to $50 range.

## Prosecco:

Pronunciation: pro-seh-ko
Alcohol Content: 11%-12% ABV
Pair It With: antipasto, cured meats, mild cheeses, sushi
Description: Champagne (sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France) can be prohibitively expensive, New Year’s Eve may call for it, but any other day, keep your eyes peeled for prosecco, Italy’s affordable and accessible sparkling wine alternative. Prosecco contains fruity notes of green apple, honeydew melon, and pear with floral aromas and light, frothy bubbles. The finest proseccos hail from the hilly northeastern region of Valdobbiadene, and if you can remember that name when your guests ask, we commend you.

Prosecco is a quintessential pre-dinner celebratory drink, think ‘classy pre-game’, but it works equally well for your morning mimosa or any occasion that calls for a celebration. Enjoy it while it’s young and fresh and serve it cold in a tulip glass or flute. A decent entry-level prosecco can be found for $20 or less.
