Bourbon: Born in the U.S.A.
Lincoln’s father made it for a living. Ulysses Grant gulped it in the oval office. Does George Thorogood, that red-blooded all-American ax-man, drink alone? Naw, he sits with his buddies Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. Slug one for ol’ Glory: … Continue reading

MacMurray Ranch: ‘Sons’ goes Sonoma
To my generation, the name ‘Fred MacMurray’ will never quite free-associate with Barbara Stanwyck or any indemnity, double or otherwise. He’ll never be Lieutenant Keefer with a glass of wine tossed in his face after the Caine gobs mutinied. He … Continue reading

Robert Oatley Winery: Will the Canes Mutiny?
