Tis The Season To Drink Grappa

For those of you who may be in the market for a good “winter warmer,” I highly recommend grappa, which has become a new favorite of mine. I’ve been hunting for it for quite some time, and I've just recently found it at the best store in greater Cincinnati (Jungle Jim’s).

Grappa (which means “grape stalk” in Italian) is a type of brandy made from pomace, which is basically the “leftovers” found in a wine press (from this I conclude that wine makers are excellent stewards of God’s wonderful gifts). Similar to most liquors, grappa can be served in a variety of fashions including as a nice companion to a good cigar, or simply as an elegant digestif after a hearty meal (hint hint for you Thanksgiving gluttons).

Salut!
