Cheers to Dry January and Beyond. Co-founders of Zero Proof Collective are changing the Twin Cities non-alcoholic beverage scene.

Crémant

Popping the cork on a bottle of bubbly can fill a room with celebratory spirits. As we move into brunch season and springtime celebrations, let’s take a closer look at a Champagne’s lesser-known cousin, crémant.

Margarita

For the last few years, it has become more common for people to go on low-sugar, low-carb and keto diets—and companies in the food and beverage industry have responded with products containing significantly less sugar or no artificial sweeteners.

Like so many, I always tend to start the new year with a health kick—a new gym, yoga, immunity shots, essential oils. I’ve tried it all. This year, instead of suddenly signing up for a gym membership, I’m opting for a healthy mocktail.

Wine can be appreciated all year, but it’s especially apropos during the holiday season. Dinner parties, restaurant gatherings and holiday gift giving tend to make wine top of mind for many revelers.

With temperatures firmly in the cool camp and fall holidays around the corner, this is the time to fully lean into transitional wines. White wines with body and red wines with texture will match the environment and much of the food this time of year.

For some people, there’s nothing better than starting the morning with a steaming cup of coffee. The first sip of the day seems to wake up the mind and body; you could even say it warms the soul.

Grüner Veltliner

Grüner Veltliner (groo-ner velt-lee-ner) is an herbaceous white wine from Austria and if you don’t already love it, summer is a great time to sample it.

pét-nat

Everyone’s drinking it, pét-nat, a wine style that isn’t just for natural wine lovers anymore. Petillant natural means naturally sparkling, and it provides an interesting and more affordable alternative to wines made in the traditional method, or Méthode Champenoise.
