Media marketing guru and serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, best known for his forward-thinking investing strategy and bullish outlook on NFTs, is actively expanding his consumer products portfolio, leading two separate investments recently in Canadian meal delivery company Ethey, and plant protein-enriched oatmeal startup Kreatures of Habit that has officially gone live today. The CEO of
When it comes to the classic clear spirits debate, vodka or gin: I am Team Gin. No disrespect to you vodka drinkers—but for nuance, breadth of botanical flavors and styles, it’s not even a competition. And especially during these warm summer nights, when nothing keeps me cooler than one of the many creative iterations of
Let’s shake things up a bit. The tasting notes you’ll find in this article are not the tasting notes you might be used to hearing. Rather than the heavy, serious, pretentious words that are often associated with tasting notes and wine descriptions, I’d like to focus instead on some words that winemakers actually use when
These wines demonstrate you can drink pink late in the summer and into fall. Many wine drinkers associate rosé with spring and early summer-time drinking—those days when perhaps you’re floating around on the yacht or lounging on the patio or under the pergola. You’re probably not thinking of rosé much in August’s late, wistful days
Portland, Oregon is a city so devoted to the locavore movement that it’s been fodder for frequent parody. While you never want to take yourself too seriously, the environmental consequences of how and where we source our food is no laughing matter. It’s a concept not lost upon Olympia Provisions. The artisanal meats company just
While many booze producers are increasingly espousing greener approaches to producing, positioning, and packaging their products, few brands rally harder for a sustainable future than New Belgium Brewery. Earlier this year, the Fort Collins-based brewer explored what would a beer made with resources found in a climate-ravaged future taste like. (Terrible, if you’re wondering.) In
Jack Daniel’s unveiled Jack Daniels 10-Year-Old Tennessee whiskey today, the brand’s first age-stated whiskey in over a century — and it’s coming to a store near you next month. So, why release an age-stated 10-year-old whiskey now? “Fortunately five years ago we added two new additional stills and 14 fermenters. Being able to do that
The golden sunrise revealed thick fog that slowly rolled over Mount Tamalpais as Chris Kajani stood on her winery’s terrace watching this “miraculous” sight. The wine estate she runs, Bouchaine, is tucked away off the beaten path of Napa Valley in the cooler climate area of Carneros. The remarkable difference between Carneros and other parts
Shay Mitchell’s tequila seltzer brand, Onda, launches its paradise collection with four new flavors, mango, pineapple, passionfruit, and strawberry. Onda was co-founded in 2020 by Mitchell and her co-founder Kelli Adams. The pair had this vision for a 90’s surf style tequila seltzer brand after struggling to find quality ingredient canned beverages specifically in the
We are all weary of travel restrictions, masking, distancing, and the sharp smell of hand sanitizer. But if you’re reading this, then you’re still alive! You’ve made it this far through a global pandemic, and there’s still a lot of joy to be had in travel — if you keep a few basic rules in
Just how important has loyalty become for quick-service restaurant brands? Q2 provided a clear answer: Very. Of course, loyalty programs are nothing new in the space. Millions of us had the Sub Club punch card from Subway, for example. But loyalty has since evolved into a digital differentiator–still providing an incentive for customers to come
A massive fire broke out on the morning of Monday, August 16th in France’s Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. It is possibly believed to have been caused by a cigarette tossed at a roadway rest area near Gonfaron (though this is still under investigation) and magnified by the intensity of the Mistral wind,
Already known for Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, producers are lightening things up with rosés made from the same grape. You probably know Oregon for its world-class Pinot Noir wines, which attract many a Burgundy drinker (and a few producers from there, too). But as of late, the state also has stepped onto the stage with a
When Dominique Crenn first tasted Upside Chicken, she, “was transported to my grandmother’s dinner table. The chicken had such an intense and pure flavor, I just couldn’t believe it.” Crenn, who is the only female chef in the United States to have three Michelin stars, was so impressed because the chicken she was eating was
Starting this October, millions of American households on food stamps will see their benefits increase significantly. The USDA estimates that the average monthly benefit will increase more than $36 per person to aid the 42 million households struggling with food insecurity. This week, the Biden Administration announced it had recalculated the basis for food stamp
Anheuser-Busch has announced a $64 million investment into Los Angeles brewing operations in an effort to drive economic recovery, expand sustainability initiatives, and bolster the brewing giant’s hard seltzer capabilities. The announcement was unveiled by U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis at the brewery today (Wednesday, August 18). Highlights include new
Grab Holdings—the ride-hailing super app cofounded by tycoon Anthony Tan—expects the robust growth in its food delivery business to continue after net sales nearly doubled in the first quarter. Adjusted net sales for deliveries climbed 96% to $293 million the first quarter ended March compared to the previous year, offsetting the weakness in the group’s
Growing up in the Netherlands, Rip Pruisken’s favorite treat was the stroopwafel, a near universal treat in the country. But while he was attending Brown University, he found that it was largely unknown in the US. Pruisken sat out to change that with the launch of Rip Van, which has grown into a better-for-you snack
Global warming has forced wine regions around the world to consider new grape varietals that can better withstand the forecasted rise in temperatures. One such wine grape, Marselan, appears to be gaining more traction in Bordeaux, China and Napa Valley. “We set up a test plot of Marselan in 2016,” reported Laurent Rousseau, owner of
