Angels Envy Bourbon Finishing Touch Cocktail Experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuing our holiday tradition, we were ecstatic to host our annual tasting of Angel’s Envy Kentucky bourbon. Owners and Guests were in excellent hands with the Angel’s Envy brand ambassador and a skilled mixologist who crafted unique smoked cocktails for the occasion.
The mixologist guided attendees through thoughtful flavor combinations—such as smoked citrus, cherrywood, cinnamon, vanilla, and aromatic herbs—demonstrating how each element contributes distinct aroma, balance, and depth to the bourbon. Both educational and enjoyable, the event offered Owners a hands-on, sensory experience that highlighted the versatility of Angel’s Envy and perfectly complemented the holiday season.

Embracing the magic and spirit of the holiday season, we continued our tradition of hosting several complimentary Prosecco tastings and were honored to share these moments with you.
La Marca Prosecco - La Marca is bright, refreshing, and elegantly balanced. It offers lively bubbles with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, finishing crisp and clean. This Prosecco is perfect for festive gatherings or simply raising a glass with loved ones.
Mionetto Prosecco - Mionetto is known for its vibrant and aromatic profile. It features delicate flavors of honey, peach, and fresh apple, with a soft, approachable finish. Its smooth character makes it an excellent choice for both celebrations and casual enjoyment.

We’re excited to share that a powerful new exhibition has just opened at the American Museum of Natural History: Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs.
This immersive exhibition explores the dramatic before-and-after story of the asteroid impact that reshaped life on Earth—leading to the extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the majority of animal and plant species on the planet. Step back in time to the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs roamed the land, pterosaurs ruled the skies, and massive marine reptiles such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs dominated the oceans. Through stunning visuals, scientific evidence, and compelling storytelling, Impact brings this pivotal moment in Earth’s history vividly to life.
