I like bourbons and really enjoy tasting differnt brands and smaller batches & craft spirits. We make cocktails a lot at home & like new stuff to play with!

Alison

It varies depending in the time of year/my mood (this time of year is perfect for some Bailey’s on the rocks…mmmm…), but I always have rum on hand. Delicious and versatile! ;)

Beth

I love Pulenta’s La Flor Malbec. I visited the winery in Argentina a few years ago, and the woman who took us on the tour of the vineyard poured us a glass and said in a very spunky voice “So… How do you like my wine?”

Stepbanie

A good Malbec is delicious with anything. Astoria Park Wine & Spirits definitely has some reasonably priced bottles

Samantha

Right now I’m enjoying a variety of Spanish reds, and around the holidays put something bubbly in my glass and I’m a happy girl!

Katie

My favorite wine: for red is Chianti, for white is Pinot Grigio. Cocktail wise I love a chocolate mint martini. :)

Jeff

Favorite wine or spirit? Do we really need to limit it to just one? For warm summer days i find a Vinho Verde hits the right spot. In the winter I want a glass of Glenmorangie La Santa in my glass. Lots of other choices for other times as well.

Colleen

I’ve been a huge fan of the Cupcake Vineyards wines. And I always love a good Riesling.

Anna

I’m a big fan of riesling for white, malbec for reds, and mastiha liquer for harder stuff.

Paul

Spanish reds are excellent value and I love to explore them.

For Bourbon, Woodford Reserve.

Maria Lauron-Castro

You can never go wrong with a glass of Malbec, but if you’re having a super bad day at work….a glass of scotch.

Emily R.

Reislings have always been my favorite, but I’m now starting to enjoy drier whites and some reds. It’s a process.

Daniel Rios

Around the holidays, I’m a sucker for cold cold Baileys in a heavy bottom glass. Something about it says comfort to me. Otherwise, I’m a whiskey man.

Kate

For wines, I love primitivos, lately. Also, whites from South Africa. Spirits are harder to pin down. It depends on the season, but I love Hendrick’s Gin, single malt scotches from various regions (mostly Islay and Highlands, though…) and small batch bourbons.

Katie C.

I love to try new things, but varieties of red wine are usually my favorite!

Tetsuya

I can’t get enough of Tito’s Vodka. Handmade in Texas. Quite possibly the worst designed bottle on the vodka shelf, but it’s surprisingly smooth and CHEAP!

Leslie

I’ve always been a Jack Daniel’s girl, and there’s something perfectly spicy and sweet about the whiskey that makes it delicious during the holidays.

Frank

BQT starts all of its board meetings with a double-scotch and finishes them off with Irish coffees.

Maggie

I love French red wine. They have a great bottle of Chateau Moulin Rouge.

Can’t get enough of Tito’s Vodka. Handmade in Texas. Quite possibly the worst packaging as far as vodkas go, but it’s surprisingly smooth and CHEAP!

Katie

I love anything with bubbles! Prosecco or Champagne makes even a Tuesday night a celebration!
