Holiday Spirits

By Kerrie Loya
If a bottle of wine or spirits is a typical gift, why not go  organic?  We may have limited choices here in Mississippi, but these tasting notes courtesy of John Rosetti (Rosetti's Liquor Barrel), might be helpful:

Bonterra Cabernet
(aromas of cherry, blackberry and raspberry)
The oak barrel aging provides notes of honey and toasted nuts.  This is a very balanced, not over-the-top Cabernet that is very affordable and enjoyable for weekday dinners and celebrations.

Bonterra Chardonnay
(aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and lemon)
The oak barrel aging provides a hint of honey and smooth creamy brulee.  Your palate will be tantalized with mild acidity and a clean, citrus and creamy lemon-zest  finish.


Rain Organic Vodka
(winner of a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition)
As far as vodkas go, Rain is a great value for the quality.  The taste profile is surprising; slightly sweet on the start, then finishing with a small alcohol burn just in time for a little Winter warmth.  This small burn is less pronounced than many of the more popular and more expensive brands, leaving me to believe this vodka has less impurities.
