How to Make a Moonshine

There's an old saying that making a moonshine is easy but it is making a good-tasting moonshine that is most difficult. At Campbell Station Wine & Spirit, your favorite wine store in the Farragut area, we are proud of Tennessee's very own TN Thunder Moonshine. The following this exquisite spirit has received along the years has inspired us to write a special blog post about moonshine recipes.

For a Raspberry Fizz: It's made with moonshine, orange liqueur, raspberries, egg whites, and seltzer water. Muddle the raspberries with the orange liqueur, add the rest of the ingredients and shake vigorously, drop in ice, strain, and top off with seltzer water.

2 oz of moonshine

.5oz orange liqueur

5 raspberries muddled

1 egg white

2 oz of seltzer water

*make it blue raspberry with blue food dye, drizzled around edge

We hope you've enjoyed this classic recipe. Give way to your creativity and share your thoughts and outcomes with us in the comments section!

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!
