Whiskey Class – Bourbon: Beyond Kentucky
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTaste and learn about Bourbon from every part of the US expect for it's homeland of Kentucky. No state in the union is more closely associated with a single spirit than Kentucky is with Bourbon. Faded from our communal memory are the historical links between Pennsylvania and rye and Massachusetts and rum, and no other states have stepped up to claim one spirit as their own. Yet despite this deep association, today Bourbon is being produced in every state in […]
Wine Class – Pinot Blanc
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesJoin Anita Bender for an exploration of the under recognized grape Pinot Blanc!Pinot Blanc is a grape that wine professionals tend to love, but it has never really caught on with the general public. Pinot Blanc's siblings are better known - both Pinot Noir, the delicate sophisticated red, and Pinot Grigio, the easygoing, fun-loving white. But Pinot Blanc has an identity of its own: a bold, vibrant white, often with a lush body and great acidity. A cool-climate star, it […]

Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTaste and learn about Amaro, and all sorts of bittersweet liqueurs, from all around the world.The Amaro is an indisputably Italian beverage, yet so popular has this category become that many other nations' traditional bitter and herbal liqueurs have been subsumed in this larger category. Given this lexical supremacy of the Amaro moniker, we can and must apply it broadly, to a host of beverages both ancient and new. From German Kräuterlikör to brand new American bitter spirits, the world […]

While Port wines have historically been the most acclaimed wines from the country of Portugal, these fortified wines can be quite a bit different in terms of styles, from white port, to ruby, vintage port and tawny. As most people's association or experience with Port has been as rich dessert wines, one may be surprised to find that these […]

Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTry more drinks from the Golden Age of Cocktails with Evan Christie.The Golden Age of American Cocktails stretched from the middle of the 19th century all the way to the start of prohibition in 1919.

While most drinks in the earlier […]
Wine Class – Provence
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesExplore the wines of Provence with Anita Bender.Provence is a name that conjures up the splendor of rural France, yet despite its pastoral connotation, it has never been a region associated with great wine, standing instead for a sea of perfectly adequate rosé. This impression has never been entirely correct (though Provence does produce a lot of mediocre rosé!). In specific pockets, the high-quality vineyards of Provence grow wines every bit the equal of those grown in the Rhône of […]
Spirits Class – Rum and the Art of Blending
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTaste and learn about rums blended from multiple distilleries, and often multiple nations with Evan Christie.Blending gets a bad name in the world of spirits for understandable reasons. Blended Scotch, with notable exceptions, is the lowest quality of that spirit. Many American distillers use blending to produce simple, homogenous products meant to offend as few palates as possible, yet there is nothing inherently wrong with blending distillates together. Whiskey makers of top quality routinely blend together barrels that have specific […]
Whiskey Class – Scotland vs The World
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTaste and learn about Scotch and it's world wide competitors with Evan ChristieThe very words "single malt" instantly conjure up an image of Scotch Whiskey that is sophisticated, respectable, even ancient. Yet while the Scots have laid a deep claim to whiskey made purely from malted barley, this style is produced around the world to great and increasing acclaim. Anywhere that barley grows or can be imported, producers are crafting this style of whiskey, sometimes with deep homage to Scotch […]
Cocktail Class – Prohibition-Era Cocktails
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesDiscovery the history, learn to make, and taste cocktails from the Prohibition Era with Evan Christie.The erroneous story that cocktails took hold during prohibition as Americans tried to cover the flavors of moonshine and other substandard hooch has been hard to dislodge from the imagination of drinkers everywhere. By the passage of the 18th Amendment, America had a vibrant and sophisticated cocktail scene, and prohibition did much to harm the quality of cocktails for generations to come. However, certain bright […]

Wine Class – Cabernet Franc
Bridgeview Liquor 935 37th Avenue South, #132, Moorhead, MN, United StatesTaste and learn about Cabernet Franc with Anita BenderCabernet Sauvignon has become so ubiquitous that it can often simply go by the name “Cab,” a shorthand that unfortunately short changes the other major grape with Cabernet in its name, Cabernet Franc. Genetically a parent to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc shares many of the characteristics that make Cabernet Sauvignon so popular but with a slightly more subtle and refined edge. This, plus its more finicky-in-the-field reputation, have left it a sorely […]
