ECO-MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Is Organic Wine Healthier?
by Rachel Levin
Organic foods have become popular for their health and environmental benefits. People don't want pesticides in their apples and carrots, why should they want them in their wine? But are natural wines really better for you?


THE HUNT FOR BEER IN OCTOBER
Top 10 Fall Beers

by Marnie Old
If there were an official season for beer, fall would be it. Rich ales mimic the amber colors of changing leaves, tailgaters revel in the start of football season and let's not forget the ultimate celebration of beer: Oktoberfest.


POP GOES THE CORK
Top 10 Wine Lists

What qualifies as a truly great wine list? A restaurant must have wines from several continents, ranging from the Grands Crus of Bordeaux to Chilean offerings to a comprehensive Champagne selection. It's a tough selection process, but here are the winners.


HIP SIPS
Top 10 Wine Bars

Wine doesn't have to be stuffy and elitist as proven by the multitude of hipster wine bars that have poured onto the scene in recent years. They're great spots to meet a friend after work—or make new friends.



TEN CENTS A GLASS
The Downtown Napa Deal
by Carey Sweet
Many Napa Valley visitors don't bother checking out downtown Napa. As a result, they're missing out on some great wine tasting at an incredible price. Learn how to get the best wine tasting deal in town.


SALUS PER VINUM
Wine Spas

by Sylvie Greil
Originating in Bordeaux, wine treatments are said to firm the skin and slow down the aging process due to wine's high antioxidant content. They are beginning to be incorporated into spa menus around the world.


SPIRITS

X FOR ONE SEX
X Rated Vodka and Fusion Liqueur
For today’s modern Cosmopolitan-sipping, “Sex and the City”-watching women comes X-Rated Vodka and Fusion Liqueur, which are sure to add a splash of pink to your bar. Marketed for the ladies, but men like them, too.


A TWIST ON AN OLD STAPLE
Agavero Liqueur
Made from 100-percent agave tequila infused
with the natural essence of the Damiana flower, this fine-sipping liqueur is quite similar to tequila, but lighter and more palatable served neat or on the rocks.


SPIRIT OF ROMANCE

With their heart-like shape and sweet flavor, lychees have been revered as a symbol of love and romance in Asia for centuries. This smooth and refreshing lychee liqueur keeps this amorous legacy alive either straight or in cocktails.
