Why WSET Path vs Sommelier
Why I (Monica) went with the WSET Award in Wines vs. the Sommelier path and how it ultimately aligns with our vision for Cork and Copper.
Going Deeper with My Whiskey Knowledge and Bonus Louisville Experiences
Fifteen years of enjoying whiskey taught me a lot but there was still plenty I didn’t know. A trip to Louisville for my Executive Bourbon Steward certification became a chance to go deeper into the craft, sharpen my palate, and spend a little extra time exploring the people and places that make the city’s whiskey culture so special.
Culture, Craft, & Charcoal
Grilling and whiskey has always been one of my favorite activities. Checking out new recipes, a new bottle, and gathering with the people I love. Explore the shared culture, craft, curiosity, and connection that makes a pour of whiskey feel right at home beside the grill.
Why Wine and Whiskey Belong at the Same Table
Wine and whiskey may come from different traditions, but put them at the same table and unexpected connections begin to emerge. Explore how shared flavors, surprising contrasts, and a little curiosity can change the way you experience what’s in your glass.
Before the First Pour
Before the first pour, there’s curiosity, tasting, comparison, and a little trial and error. Go behind the scenes as we build a Cork and Copper tasting, finding the connections between wine and whiskey, uncovering unexpected flavors, and discovering the stories that make each bottle worth sharing.
