Parmesan

Serious cheese deserves serious drinks, so we like to pair parmesan with chianti, pinot noir, malbec, syrah, champagne, prosecco and riesling. We also like the strong stuff with it including grappa, nocino, sherry and madeira.

Belgian Ale

There are so many different types of Belgian ales, but what unites them all is their moderate to high-alcohol content and tendency to be on the sweeter, often fruity side.

Scotch Ale

If a strong, dark, malty ale is what you crave, Scotch ale is your new best mate!

Bourbon

We’re crazy about this All-American, barrel-aged beauty, and we proclaim bourbon one of America’s best and tastiest inventions.

Brandy

Typically served as an after-dinner drink, amber-colored brandy is a bright, and oftentimes slightly spicy, distilled wine usually aged in oak.

Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is one of our all-time favorite cocktails, and although it can certainly be made with whiskey, in Wisconsin we always prefer ours with brandy.

Rum

Crafted from sugar cane, this sweet, light-to-dark colored, often caramelly spirit is our Tiki time favorite.

Scotch

Like our most aromatic of cheeses, the peaty, sometimes smokey or even briney flavor of scotch makes it a very special pairing partner.

Chianti

Hailing from the central region of Tuscany where it was born, chianti is a nuanced and full bodied red wine.

Madeira

The vast majority of wine consumed in early America was rich and nutty madeira.

Malbec

Despite its origins in the Bordeaux region of France, high quality malbec is generally most associated with Argentina's Mendoza region.

Merlot

This smooth red wine ranges in flavor from young and fruity to aged and chocolatey and a few delicious places in between.

Rosé

Caught somewhere between white and red wine, rose's flavor notes can run the gambit from red fruit to citrus to rhubarb and everywhere in between.

Chardonnay

With flavors ranging from crisp to creamy, chardonnay is a global favorite for good reason.

Pinot Gris

Pinot gris and pinot grigio are different names for the same wine. Both are bright, light, simple whites made from the same grapes.

Riesling

German by birth, riesling is one of our all-time favorite whites. Its flavor can range from dry to semi-sweet to sweet and even sometimes sparkle!

Sauvignon Blanc

Grassy, crisp, young and refreshing are all things that we associate with this light-on-its-feet white wine grown in many regions of the world.
