:: The Thirsty Redhead :: Master of Wine wannabe

At The Standard Grill in the Meatpacking District for a bite.

Interesting cocktials. I ordered their version of a mint julep, which is made of bourbon, mint and oak-infused simple syrup.

The cork dork is literally drinking oak juice!

The Thirsty Redhead: New York, New York, United States; After ten years on a junk bond trading desk, where are fortunes are made and lost in seconds, I pursued my interest in wine, a product where patience is a virtue. I’ve worked in wine retail, as a sommelier, and now for a wine importer and distributor. As a Master of Wine wannabe, I'm using this blog to record parts of my studies, tastings now and perhaps some essays as I get into the practice. Because studying for the Master of Wine exams is not the most important thing in the world (or so my non-wine friends tell me), I will continue to blog about my other happiness: duck confit. Drop me a line if you have any comments, questions, or just have a bottle of Champagne that needs drinking.
