4 Creative Ways to Serve Drinks on Your Wedding

Feeling a little overwhelmed with wedding planning is a pretty frequent scenario. Chances are you may have overlooked a handful yet important details. But why should you let the exhausting decision-making process ruin that special moment of your life? Instead, let your friendly liquor store in Farragut give you some pretty fun ideas on how to serve drinks on Your Big Day. Campbell Station Wine & Spirits will help you narrow down your options for an ultimate wedding to remember!

There are plenty of liquor selections to consider -- from arrival drinks, meal pairings, and after-party beverages. It is important that there is an ample supply of drinks available at the beginning of the reception until the wee hours of the wedding after-party. Instead of serving drinks the traditional way, why not let your creative juices flow and add an artistic flair to it?

1. DIY signature cocktails

Considered as a trend, signature cocktails that the couple themselves made have become a popular staple on weddings today. A tasty bowl of rosemary-citrus punch or a pomegranate Caipiroska is perfect to get the festive mood started for your guests.  Or, you can let your guests help themselves with custom-made champagne shots where they can choose fruit garnishes!

2. Nibble-sized food & drink pairings

Food and drink pairings are undoubtedly a mainstay in modern weddings. But have you tried miniature versions of them? Yup! Amp up the reception and get your guests dancing while you serve them with nibble-sized proportions of prosciutto and mozzarella paired with port shot glasses.

3. Alcohol-free bars

Don't forget your guests who arrived sober and opt to leave the party still sober! You can prepare a DIY bar featuring infused waters and iced teas for a special portion of your guests who wants to go alcohol-free. Add a rustic feel to your DIY stations by using mason jars for your drinks!

4. Brew stations 

How about beers on wedding receptions? Champagnes and other sophisticated wines aren't just the only liquors to steal the wedding spotlight. For the beer-loving couples and guests, a vintage, DIY brew station will surely complete the wedding reception before the night ends.

At Campbell Station Wine & Spirit, your favorite wine store in the Farragut area, we are proud of Tennessee's very own TN Thunder Moonshine.

Drink and Discuss: The Napa Cabernet

The Napa Cabernet is about uniqueness & balance

Everyday thousands of cabernet sauvignon bottles are sold nationwide at wine stores like ours, Campbell Station Wine & Spirits. The Napa Cabernet is one of the most popular ones. According to the Napa Valley Vintners Association, Napa contributed more than $50 billion to the U.S. economy. That is a lot for a small region which produces 4% of the state of California’s grape harvest.

So we've inquired a bit about what the Napa Cabernet is. The Napa Cabernet itself was inspired by great Bordeaux wines. The pioneers of the style wanted to make red wines that could stand with the greatest reds in the world. For them, that meant Bordeaux. But the Napa Cabernet is even more unique!

According to Silverado Winery whose wines are exclusively featured in-store this week, "what makes a "classic" Napa Cabernet is balance: richness vs. tannins, ripe fruit vs. dried herb aromatics, ageability vs. instant gratification."

"It has to be delicious; great grapes deserve craftsmanship; wine is more interesting when it reflects its origin”, they continue.

What is more is that the Napa Cabernet is meant to go with food. This cannot be easily said for most wines. It's not for no reason that the Napa Cabernet has become the official wine of American steakhouses.

We recommend Silverado Winery Napa Cabernet 2011. It is available in-store at 707 North Campbell Station Road, Farragut, TN 37934.

Happy drinking!
