Rehorst pours triple crown of fruit brandies
If I thought that Great Lakes Distillery's first attempt at grappa was fruity, it was only because I hadn't yet sampled the flavor explosions that are its German Kirschwasser and pear eau-de-vie. All three are crafted from Wisconsin fruit.

A gift a day: Rehorst gin or vodka
There's always that person for whom you can't come up with a single idea. You've either gotten them everything they could ever want or you never had a clue to begin with. So, my suggestion is a nice bottle of Milwaukee-made liquor to help keep them warm through the blustery winter season.

Great Lakes Distillery caps the spirit of autumn
Recently Julie Lawrence wrote about some of her favorite fall beers. For me, when the air starts to take on a chill, I reach for my well-stocked stash of grappa. Although Great Lakes Distllery hasn't yet launched its grappa -- which I tasted when there was snow on the ground outside the distillery, then in Riverwest -- it now launches Pumpkin Seasonal Spirit.

What could be more refreshing on a warm summer day than a tasty juice concoction, a gin and tonic or a homemade dreamsicle? Throw in a fresh festival, some interesting music and a good book and call it a day.
