As you might recall from our recent travel issue, Edible contributor and spirits writer Robert Simonson traveled to South Africa’s vinelands to understand how the country’s winemakers are breaking ground in sustainability standards by building wilderness into their vineyards. It’s yet another reason–flavor and value being others–New Yorkers should get to know the little known region. This cookbook will help you do just that, and we’ve got a few to give away.

We’re not sure what the format of our next Good Spirits cocktail pairing party will be, but we wanted to get our creative juices flowing by asking you what’s your favorite thing to drink right now. A local rye on the rocks? A hot toddy with pear bitters at Bourbon & Branch? Your own creation with beets and Brooklyn gin? Let us know here in the comments and you might win two tickets to our next Good Spirits in February.

Readers of our most recent issue might recall that Sunday marks the start of (real New York State apple) Cider Week, which is being sponsored as part of a bigger “Apple Project” by the upstate agricultural not-for-profit Glynwood Center. The goal is to get more people (and wine shops and sommeliers) drinking and buying apple alcohol, which can benefits local orchards, economies and educated drinkers, who quickly realize cider is just as nuanced a beverage as beer or wine. The week kicks off at one of our favorite places: New Amsterdam Market, which is hosting “A Hard Cider Revival” with six different artisanal cideries from our foodshed each offering several styles of the drink.
Edible Escape, our travel-themed tasting event in celebration of our inaugural travel issue, is fast approaching like a high speed Euro-train. It takes place October 19th at the stunning Angel Orensanz Center, which itself is like an escape to another time and place. At $40, tickets are a lot cheaper than a flight around the world, and we can guarantee the food will be better, plus we’re giving away Bodum coffee presses and Bodum ceramic knives.
