Veuve Clicquot Rosé Sakura Collection


Cheeeeeers to this divine bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rosé that encased in a special-edition Sakura Blossom ice jacket designed by Ateliers LZC, a Paris-based design studio. The very pink scuba-style jacket keeps the booze fresh and cool for two hours and comes with any bottle of Veuve Rosé through the summer. C'est magnifique!

Wines That Rock


Booze and rock: has there ever been a more intuitive pairing? Granted, I don't know how many people think "chardonnay" when they think "rock 'n' roll," but that's beside the point. These varietals — created by legendary rock managers RZO along with the Mendicino Wine Co. — are inspired by rock.  Haven't tested 'em out yet, but used “Forty Licks Merlot,” “Dark Side of the moon Cabernet” and “Woodstock Chardonnay” in a recent story. Get some wine here.

Samuel Adams Utopias



These were delivered to a bunch of editors throughout the office, compliments of Sam Adams. Considered an "extreme beer," this limited-edition concoction is meant to be enjoyed more in the manner of a cordial than a beer — snifter and all. It's also got a higher alcohol content than your typical brew (27 percent by volume). A few of us took small tastes, and it's much more along the lines of cognac, port or even a mild scotch, in terms of taste. It's syrupy and strong and probably good if you like that sort of flavor. It comes in a copper kettle and beer geeks aficionados are going wild for it. All that extra booze content comes at a cost: $150 per bottle. Available at specialty liquor stores starting this month.
