A SPIRITED FATHER'S DAY Napa Valley Distillery Father's Day
Giving dad spirits for Father's Day is a time-honored tradition. In April Napa Valley Distillery released its Grand California, and it has quickly become one of their most loved spirits. It is made by infusing their premium, Bourbon barrel-aged brandy with hand-peeled California oranges. What pairs perfectly with the Grand California? A Grand Marnier cigar of course! Or is dad more of a gin man? They've got that, and more. Can't decide which of their spirits your father might like best? Make a reservation at the tasting salon and sample  the spirits together. That's a tradition worth starting.
SOUTH AFRICAN KEERMONTOCWM Monte Valpo
Curious about the wines of South Africa? Oxbow Cheese & Wine Merchant (OC&WM) has procured the 2011 Keermont Syrah for its red cellar trio wine club and shelves. This deeply flavored, complex red was grown in the beautiful amphitheater known as Paradise Valley in Stellenbosch. Production was quite limited, and the wine has received significant international recognition, including top awards from Decanter Magazine in the UK. The closest wine parallel outside South Africa for Keermont Syrah is probably C�te Rotie in the northern Rhone Valley of France, where the fine reds are predominantly Syrah (a little Viognier is allowed), and are legendary for their longevity in the cellar.

DAD'S CARDAMOM      Three Twins Dad's Cardamom
Dad's Cardamom from Three Twins Ice Cream is unapologetically delicious. This is a flavor that often pleasantly surprises folks, whether they're trying it for the first or third or 93rd time. Three Twins starts with a base of milk, cream, sugar and eggs and then adds Madagascar vanilla and a healthy dose of ground cardamom. And then they're done. Six ingredients. All delicious. One of the things that you will love about Dad's Cardamom is that, like Madagascar vanilla, it plays so well with others. In fact, it makes fast friends with just about anything other than tartar sauce. It's great with other (Three Twins) ice cream as well as cake, pie, pudding, fruit, cookies and more. Of course, it's also good by itself.
