Other Wines/Drinks

González Byass La Copa Reserva Vermouth, Jerez, Spain: La Copa Reserva Vermouth from González Byass channels a resurrected 1896 formula, weaving savory wormwood, clove and cinnamon through a backbone of orange peel, nutmeg and angelica. Twelve months in American oak infuses toasted nut and vanilla layers beneath its herbal warmth. Serve it as a base for craft cocktails or enjoy neat with salty olives and creamy cheeses to accentuate its spicy, aromatic depth. Vermouth food pairings: cocktails, cheeses, olives.
