Luke Donald 2007 Chardonnay Carneros (28.4 Proof)

I had no clue before looking at the promotional one-sheet that Luke Donald was a golfer. Terlato Wine has entered into an agreement with Donald to brand a number of their efforts with eir name, and we received a bottle of the 2007 Chardonnay for review. After draining this bottle, we learned two things. First, the heaviness of the glass used to bottle this wine is such that one could…

Jose Cuervo Black Medallion (80 Proof)

This is one dark tequila. This is due to the fact that the spirit has been aged in oak barrels in much the same way as whiskey, imbuing all aspects of the Black Medallion with a smoky timbre that sets it off from all other tequilas on the market. The first experience beyond simply seeing the Jose Cuervo Black Medallion will be when one cracks open the bottle; the earthy,…

Don Simon Class Cabernet Merlot (25 Proof)

Don Simon is the first wine that we have gotten for review that has been in a normal, recyclable plastic bottle. It is also Spain’s highest selling wine. The first thing that should be said is that the wine’s flavor has not been modified in the slightest; there is not a plastic or similar flavor profile present in each bottle. Of course, there needs to be some discussion of the…

Smirnoff Cocktails: Grand Cosmopolitan (30 Proof)

We here at NeuFutur HQ received a bottle of the “Grand Cosmopolitan” cocktail a few weeks back, and just finally had a chance to go and give it the coverage that it rightfully deserves. For those individuals that have no clue what a Cosmopolitan actually is, it blends together vodka, Grand Marnier, and cranberry juice (some other iterations include lime juice). This 30 proof drink really shines when it is…

Tequila Cazadores (Anejo)

Tequila Cazadores is Bacardi’s brand of tequila, although individuals would not know that unless they looked up the brand. The spirit itself is made straight from the Blue Agave; the Anejo here approaches a darkness that parallels that of many whiskeys on the market. This is due to the fact that it has been aged in oak for at least 12 months before it makes its way into the bottle.…

Orzel (80 Proof)

We would have gotten this spirit reviewed quicker, but we lost the bottle for a significant part of time. Seriously though, we have to put an apology to the firm that sent out the bottle at the beginning of this review. For those that do not know about Orzel, this Polish vodka is apparently “Filtered Over Quartz”. How this is beneficial to the spirit over charcoal, I may never know,…

Smirnoff Cocktails: Pomegranate Martini (30 Proof)

It’s been a little bit since we here at NeuFutur have had the chance to go and have a ready-made drink, but we had a bottle of Smirnoff Cocktails: Pomegranate Martini sent over to the HQ in the last little bit. This bottle, all 30 proof (15%) contains a blend of Smirnoff vodka, Meyer Lemon Liqueur, and lemon and pomegranate juices. Where most drinkers would tend to move towards straight…

Jose Cuervo Especial: Tequila Plata (80 Proof)

Jose Cuervo is the tequila that many of my friends prefer over all others, and while I had quite a few sessions with “Joe Crow”, I confess that it was not my first choice for tequila. This has all changed after we here at NeuFutur Headquarters had a bottle of the Jose Cuervo Especial (Tequila Plata) sent on over for review. The spirit itself has much less of a burn…

Three Olives Cherry (70 Proof)

Three Olives has been one of the most elusive spirits for NeuFutur to track down and request; I know breaking the fourth wall is sort of verboten, but I find it interesting to see the inner workings of different industry (and by extension, I feel that our readers do as well). Thus, much as our contact with Victory Records was seen as a “victory”, our contact with Proximo Spirits provided…

Pro.mis.Q.ous – California White Table Wine.

If I were to pick a wine that anyone could enjoy, I would choose promisQous California white table wine. The wine is sweet and satisfying, yet crisp and refreshing. I have a good friend, who I like to have an occasional drink with, she had never had any white wine to speak of, and the only red wine she had ever had was dry and powerful, so needless to say…
