Old Forester

Fans of the timeless Manhattan cocktail know that it isn't finished until it's garnished with a cherry or two. However, if you're taking the time to include a high-quality rye whiskey or bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters, you don't want to use cloyingly sweet, generically red maraschino cherries.

You need a high-quality, flavorful cherry for your cocktail. Especially if a renowned bourbon distillery makes it. Luckily, the folks at Old Forester have you covered.

The best wine and cocktail pairings for your charcuterie board
Wine pairings for cured meats
Volpi Foods Meats

As a meat and cheese lover, I'll gladly volunteer to make a charcuterie board for any event. There's something unique about creating a charcuterie board; no two boards ever come out the same. Crafting great charcuterie boards includes selecting the perfect pairings of meats, cheese, and accompaniments. Yet, the ideal evening is incomplete without the perfect cocktails and wines to pair with your charcuterie board. Volpi Foods' CEO, Lorenza Pasetti, shares her best tips and recommendations on selecting wine and cocktail pairings for every cured meat on your charcuterie board.
Why charcuterie and wine pairings matter

Making a charcuterie board comes with many decisions -- from spreads to arrangement to selecting a good variety of flavors. As such, it's easy to miss a key component in making all the flavors come together: your beverage. "Whether it's the delicate, buttery texture of prosciutto or the bold, spiced notes of sopressata, the right wine or cocktail acts as the perfect complement by elevating those flavors, enhancing complexity, and turning a simple tasting into a memorable experience," says Pasetti. "At Volpi Foods, we've spent over a century perfecting the craft of cured meats, staying true to the time-honored tradition of slow aging to develop deep, rich flavors in every bite."
