8-29-13 Word On Wine COCKTAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We live in the great age of cocktails…just take a trip to Grand Cru in Belvedere Square and watch the masters dream up the amazing. Mary found some great recipes in Bon Apetit, (Spring 2013) Food and Wine (7/13) and the New York Times. Because we love you I will write them down…I hope you are grateful!
1)Sangria Made with Rose.

3)New York Sour
