Join Tony, downTown’s Spirits Manager, and Mike, regional rep for Domaine de Canton in tasting this delightful ginger liqueur from France. While tasty on its own, it is engineered to be a mixer. Made from cognac and vietnamese ginger, it is made by the son of the gentleman who created Chambord. Stop in and taste this interesting and unique spirit.

What’s in a label?! How a bottle looks and what it says are a huge part of deciding to take it home with you. We’ll taste some “critter” labels versus some old school Chateau-inspired ones and more! And what about those little cards you see in front of some wines in stores? Shelf talkers also have a role in helping you pick out your flavor of the week (or, let’s be honest, night!). We’ll go through what they say, who and where they come from, and how to read them effectively to get information that will actually help you score some killer wine.
In a Crash Course based on Wine Buying 101, we’ll help you decipher what labels & shelf talkers mean, and how to pick out some great vino in your local wine shop!

Q Tonic
“The world’s best spirits deserve a superior tonic water”– we couldn’t agree more. Stop into downTown to try Q Tonic, with some liquor in it, of course. In addition to tasting mighty fine, Q features hand-picked quinine from the Peruvian Andes, organic agave as the sweetener, and 60% fewer calories than regular tonic water. How can you go wrong?!
