1) Black Rock Wine & Spirits
The staff at Black Rock Wine and Spirits know their controlled fermentation and distillation. They know about the mysterious alchemy that takes grains and fruits and transforms them into complex and beguiling spirits. Wine manager Owen Carty keeps a close eye on the trends in the field as well as on the particular tastes of his customers. “A few years ago no one wanted a rye whiskey, now everyone wants a sazerac,” says Carty, referring to the trendy signature cocktail of New Orleans. As with every other area of the food and drink industries, the pendulum in the world of spirits has swung toward the artisanal, the boutique and the local. So the crew at Black Rock can help you find products made in Connecticut or in New England and the Hudson Valley, if that’s what you’re interested in. “One hot thing in spirits is craft spirits -- small-batch spirits, things that are made by hands and not machines.” If you want someone to walk you through the arcane subtleties of Polish vodka, fine single malt scotch or complex grappa, the staff at Black Rock Wine and Spirits will oblige.
