Transforming the Flavor and Texture of Dealcoholized Wines With Kato's Austin Hennelly and Han Suk Cho

It is exceptionally difficult to craft cocktails that are complex, delicious, and memorable without alcohol. Booze provides flavor, body, and the obvious inebriating effect that eases inhibitions and sets the scene for a good night out. The effect of alcohol can even help mask when a cocktail isn’t perfectly balanced. In a bar setting, price points provide an additional layer of difficulty for non-alcoholic cocktails.

The Mount Rushmore of #California #Cabernet According to 9 #Wine Experts | #Vinepair zurl.co/0lyEQ
The Mount Rushmore of California Cabernet, According to 9 Wine Experts

California dominates the story of American winemaking in many ways, both by producing far more wine than any other state, and by creating and entrenching many of the trends and styles that echo out, not just to the rest of the U.S., but to the broader world of wine. While California’s history of winemaking stretches back well over 300 years, it’s largely been in the post-Prohibition era, and over the last 50 years more specifically, that the impact has been felt, and no grape has been more synonymous with the state than Cabernet Sauvignon.
