THE TIG ARCHIVES│FOOD│SUMMER WINES

“What grows together goes together. Words to live by from Master Sommelier, Laura Maniec, who would pair her basil flecked pizza with a nice Barolo, Frappato, or other glass of Italian red hued goodness. She is one of just 20 female Master Sommeliers in the world (which is so badass it’s crazy). She owns and operates Corkbuzz in Manhattan and Charlotte, North Carolina, where both wine novices and pros can gain vintner knowledge as well as imbibe under one roof. In Vino Veritas at its finest. The Wall Street Journal called Laura “The It Girl” of the NY wine scene, Food & Wine Mag sings her praises as one of the top sommeliers of 2013, and Crains NY and Wine Enthusiast keep her in the company of one of their lauded Top 40 under 40. I mean….it is for very good reason that I am equal parts in awe of and obsessed with this chick. At just 25 years old, she was named both partner and wine and spirits director for BR Guest Restaurant Group, where she waxed poetic on tasting notes for 20+ restaurants. I say again, she was just 25.If she were a wine, Maniec says she would be a “Clouet Cuvée 1911 from the town of Bouzy in Champagne: fun yet serious, bubbly, unique and warm (as in welcoming, although Bouzy does also happen to be one of the warmest villages in Champagne).” But don’t let the vintage or the fancy pants quality of that bubbly bottle fool you. She is young and as down to earth as they come – relishing camping trips with friends, and her cheese smothered in (oh no she didn’t!) butter. Makes me adore her even more. Laura shares with The TIG her choices for what you will enjoy pouring this summer. I, for one, can��t wait to indulge. Cheers!”

- Meghan Markle, August 2014

1. Pepiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine

Loire, France – 2012

Tastes like lemon, lime, refreshing and slightly briny finish. It pairs perfectly with oysters or drink on the beach during the day. ($12.99)

2. Wimmer Czerny Gruner Veltliner Fumberg

Wagram, Austria – 2012

This is one of my favorite medium bodied wines for summer that pairs perfectly with the bounty of produce available from tomatoes, to asparagus, to corn. It has flavors of orange zest, tangerines and white pepper and is one of the best pairings with vegetables. ($13.99)

3. Clos Cibonne Tibouren Rose

Cotes de Provence, France – 2012

Made from the local Tibouren grape, it is pale in color with hints of orange and chocolate. During the summer it is a little more serious than the average bottle of rose. It goes well with grilled burgers or chicken or with fish tacos. ($22.99)

4. Ameztoi Stimatum Txakolina Tinto

Getaría, Spain – 2013

Made from the Hondarribi Beltza grape in Pais Basco region of Spain, this slightly fizzy red wine is one of the few low alcohol reds that is perfect for sipping on during the day. It has fruity notes but finishes completely dry and almost looks like a dark rose in color. ($22.99)

Wine 101 with Master Sommelier @lauramaniec was an absolute hit! She prepared and explained a lovely wine flight of six selections ranging from the Finger Lakes to Longuedoc, France. The selection of food was a great reflection of the restaurant’s offerings from their homemade ricotta to their al denté pesto pasta. It’s an excellent spot for events small or medium/large. I’d like to give a special thanks to the PA network for this well orchestrated and informative gathering. It was a pleasure meeting you all over delicious food and wine! . . . . . . . . . . #jenzieinthecity #jenzieinnyc #jenziesips #corkbuzz #corkbuzznyc #LauraManiec #winetasting #wine101withLauraManiec #wine101 #sipthisnyc #winelover #foodblogger #nycblogger #nyclife #vino #ricotta #breakbread #foodie #wineenthusiasts #🍷 #prosciuttodiparma24months #🐖 #delicious (at Corkbuzz Restaurant & Wine Bar)

The Liquor Store

There are many liquor stores in Brooklyn, but one in particular has been a mainstay in the community for years. That best brooklyn liquor store is The Liquor Store, and it has located at 55 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 . The Liquor Store is a family-owned business that has been passed down from one generation to the next. It is a true neighborhood institution, and the locals rely on it for all their liquor needs.

A Cognac for Every Moment in New York City

There's something about a cognac that just feels right in New York City. The blend of smoothness and spice seems to fit the pace and energy of the city perfectly. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at a jazz club or out on the town with friends, cognac is the perfect drink to complement any New York moment.

You can find cognac bars, stores and lounges all over the city, and they're always packed with people enjoying a drink or two. Of course, the most famous cognac store in New York is undoubtedly The Liquor Store.

Malbec: A Versatile Red Wine

Malbec, a dark-skinned grape variety used to make red wine, originated in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France. But it's found a new home in the United States, specifically in New York. There, the wine has taken on a life of its own, with a growing number of producers crafting distinctive styles of Malbec. One of the key draws of Malbec is its versatility. It can be light and fruity or big and bold, making it a good fit for a variety of occasions.

The Annual Kenmare Pub Crawl is upon us again---and this time, with a twist!

For three decades, Kenmare’s four wizarding pubs have pulled out all the stops to create unique, fascinating, and occasionally undrinkable brews in order to win the title of Best Pub in Ireland. After years of complaints from bars throughout the rest of wizarding Britain, however, the competition has been widened. Bars from Ballycastle to London will be in Kenmare to show off their newest concoctions. This weekend, pubs and breweries will be competing to win the hearts of the Wizarding world for a brand new title: the Best Pub in the United Kingdom.

Per usual, witches and wizards will help decide this year’s champion by sampling all beer, food, and entertainment the Wizarding world has to offer, right out of Kenmare.

Sample appetizers from popular food trolleys (such as Nacho Mama’s Nachos and Greased Grub, to name a few).

Stop by the WWN’s event booth to request songs from the DJ, and for your chance to appear live on air every evening (and the opportunity to win prizes, too!).

The Department of Intoxicating Substances will be hosting a game booth for children (and handing out educational materials about responsible drinking for the adults!).

Medi-wizards will be standing by, for those who need them.

Members of the Anti-Splinching Squad will be waiting in the main tent to apparate anyone who feels they need assistance finding their way home.

And, of course, taste a variety of beers from a variety of reputable pubs.

Get your admission wristbands by the day, or for the entire weekend, at the main event tent. Don’t forget to stop there to cast your vote on the way out, either!

And now, for our competitors—

Corkbuzz // One might not expect a wine bar to enter a competition judging beers, but Tinworth’s entry is not to be underestimated. Often dismissed as too classy and traditional to fit in with the rough and tumble crowd traditionally at a pub crawl, but the staff has pulled out all the stops to appeal to a whole new set of customers.

Happens for a Riesling; this traditional sweet wine will be perfect for those who haven’t spent much time drinking wine and want to give it a try, or for those who think sweeter is always better.

Shiraz as Can Be; for red wine fans, this wine will be the obvious choice, and a square of chocolate will really bring out the hints of cherry and licorice.

COMPETITOR: Red-y and Waiting Ale; whether you like to relax with a cold beer or sip on a glass of red wine, this ale is sure to be a hit. This beer will remind beer drinkers of a traditional bitter ale and wine drinkers of a well aged cabernet. How Corkbuzz pulled off this balance is something of a mystery.

The Dragon’s Egg // Although Holyhead’s rowdiest bar entered the competition, one wonders if they decided to put their best foot forward. However, the laid back vibe has always been what made the Dragon’s Egg a popular place for dragonologists, Quidditch players, and criminals to come together to relax, and it’s sure to make this pub stand out from the rest of the competition.

Welsh Pale Ale; a traditional pale ale, always served cold. Unless you’ve done something to annoy the bartender.

Dark Stout; the darker side of the pale ale, with all of the full bodied flavor you might expect from a dark beer.

COMPETITOR: Laggin’ Lager; this beer marks the pub’s first attempt to move away from their two standbys in over two centuries. Hopefully it’s worth the wait.

The Drunken Dragon // Having been dethroned last year after winning the title of Best Pub in Ireland of 1977, rumor has it that the Drunken Dragon is pulling out all the stops this year. At the Drunken Dragon, edgier is synonymous with superior, so brace yourself for a myriad of special effects – both frightening and awe inspiring – before you duck into the underbelly of the Dragon.

Anne Bonny’s Belgian Wit; this wheat ale is sweet and smooth, sure to please anyone and everyone who tries it.

Grace O'Malley’s Irish Ale; like its namesake and the chieftain of the Ó Máille clan of west Ireland, this ale is considered to be exceptionally formidable and competent. Although last year’s entry didn’t win the grand prize, it has become pub favorites.

COMPETITOR: Maeve of Connacht’s Stout; with a kick as strong as a bull, this beer isn’t for the faint of heart. But for those who survive, they’re sure to go down in legend for their will and determination.

The Golden Bludger // At long last, the pride of Puddlemere has arrived in town to prove itself the greatest and grandest in all the land. Located near P.I.M.P., the Golden Bludger has become known for it’s ever changing drinks and unique brews.

Puddlemere Pecan Porter; a creamy Porter with just a hint of nutty flavor that helps to hide the brew’s natural hoppiness, this brew has become a popular staple of fall at the Golden Bludger.

Wadcock Cinnamon Cider; this cider is a pride of Puddlemere. After tasting the slight twist on the classic cider, more than one patron has commented on being reminded of Firewhiskey.

COMPETITOR: Bodwin Moor Maple Stout; this barrel-aged stout has just a hint of sweetness from the maple that helps it to go down smooth. You’re sure to be coming back for more of this seasonal treat.

The Hopping Pot // Named after the famous tale recorded by Beedle the Bard, this pub has become a staple for shoppers in Carkitt Market over the last few centuries, and it as become well known for never being afraid to take a risk or two when it comes to making a new brew. While not as eccentric as some of the other competitors, the Hopping Pot shouldn’t be written up, as they still have some tricks up their sleeve.

Wizard’s Brew; don’t be put off by this beer’s classic name. One of the Hopping Pot’s original brews, this sweet stout is a comforting brew for many an old wizard.

Fishy Green Ale; a popular drink with the younger crowd. Just don’t ask how the drink turned green. Or what kind of fish eggs are floating in it. Best just not to ask any questions and all and enjoy this beer.

COMPETITOR: Strawberry Lime Cider; the tart lime flavors help to cut the sweetness of the strawberry in this fizzy cider. Like other drinks at the Hopping Pot, it promises to be nothing like anything you’ve had before!

Kings of the Crossroad // True to its name, Kings of the Crossroad serves drinks fit for a king, with an atmosphere welcoming to royalty and peasants alike. With its famous Áed Findliath line – all brews named for the fair Irish king – Kings is full of surprises year round as it releases its brand new seasonal brews every few months. Whether it be the season of the sun, or the season of roaring fireplaces, Kings of the Crossroad will always be ready with a welcome that’s even warmer.

Áed Findliath’s Dublin Brew; taking their own spin on an Irish tradition, the Dublin Brew was the Kings’ first attempt at their own draft. What they came up with truly lives up to the name of Ireland’s capital, and it’s won them the title of Best Pub in Ireland in many years past.

Áed Findliath’s Irish Red; many claim this is Kenmare’s appeal to the British, with its tea-like taste. Kings boasts that their Irish Red is the richest beer in all of Kenmare, second only to their competing drink this season.

COMPETITOR: Áed Findliath’s Pumpkin Ale; in celebration of the cooler air and changing leaves, Kings has prepared this draft for those who are feeling especially festive. Don’t let the name fool you -- despite having hints of pumpkin flavor that everyone can enjoy, this isn’t your average glass of pumpkin juice.

Kinky Kestral // The Kinky Kestral has been bestowed many titles, from the most eccentric pub in all of Ireland since its establishment over fifty years ago, to the Best Pub in Ireland of 1978. With relics reminiscent of every era the Kinky Kestral has witnessed, this pub has given the word “classic” a definition all their own. Its 1950′s mantra, “You have to be here to get it,” has made quite the comeback throughout the 1970′s.

I’m A Little Tea Pot Short and Stout; last year’s winning beverage -- stout beer, served in a tea pot -- proved that appearances are everything. The marketing marvel is back again this year for a victory lap. You can purchase a pot large enough for your entire table, or one in miniature for yourself.

Malted Milk & Cookie; the pub crawl wouldn’t be complete without this divisive beer. Some find this malt beer appalling, and others find it enthralling. Whatever the opinion, a witch or wizard can usually be persuaded to give this drink a try by the delectable chocolate chip cookie that comes with it.

COMPETITOR: Hip Hoppin’ Pottin’ Porter; the Kinky Kestrel has attempted to keep their moment from last year with an even bigger surprise. Inspired by the famous tale (and perhaps a bit by their competition), this porter is served in a one legged pot that hops around your table. Just be careful to watch for spills.

Lumos Nox Brewery // The newbie on the block this year, this will be the first time this creative brewery has entered into any competition with their one-of-a-kind brews that’ll have your tastebuds dying to discover the rest of the menu.

House Special; with them being stranger to competition, this seems like the perfect opportunity for everyone to try that classic ale with a twist. The lemon adds a special acidity that’ll keep you ordering it by the pints

Jonesing for a Bonesing; Britain’s favorite drink can now be found here… Tea and beer combined, who would have thought? What you do: choose your favorite tea. The owner’s, for instance, is Earl Grey. That and their basic dark stout gets mixed together, as does a dash of sugar, lemon and honey to level out the bitterness of both. There’s a smoky finish and a whole lot more where that came from

COMPETITOR: Bev’s Brew; milk stout with a blend of cherry happened by accident one day when the owner’s daughter was in. She’d spilled her cherry juice into the usual milk stout and magic was made. The sweetness, creaminess, and that background bitterness of the dark stout is a match you’ll be thankful you tried.

The Tipsy Cow // Casual in both atmosphere and decor, the Tipsy Cow is undoubtedly the wheat beer capital of the Wizarding world. Their brews are guaranteed to knock you off your feet (if they’re not already up on the bar counter, that is.) The Tipsy Cow won Best Pub in Ireland back in 1976, and after two years ranking last, they’re itching to prove themselves to be not only the best in Ireland, but in the whole Wizarding world.

Grandpa’s Classic: Hefeweize; as the first beverage crafted by magical folk in Kenmare, this wheat beer is considered a classic, and enjoyed by witches and wizards of all ages, in spite of its nickname. The only beer made with yeast, this cloudy beverage will mesmerize you as much as any crystal ball.

Dad’s Favorite: Kristallweizen; by far the most popular beer served at the Cow, this is more than just Dad’s favorite. Filtered and fresh tasting, everyone can find this brew enjoyable.

COMPETITOR: Mother’s Choice: Bock; a smooth malty brew sweetened with honey, this bock will be something even those the most hesitant beer drinkers can enjoy.
