Steak on the grill

Let's be honest — when it comes to grilling, a lot of the fun is in the show. It just wouldn't be a proper backyard barbecue without all the hubbub that comes once that grill is ignited. The sounds, the smells, the caveperson astonishment and pride when it comes to all things fire-related. The whole thing is rather dramatic.

Be it a steak, pork chop, burger, or eggplant, no grilled entree is complete without the cosmetic upgrade of gorgeous grill marks.

Chances are, though, if you've ever attempted these beautifully blackened lines in your backyard, you know just how tricky they can be.

How to make a classic Manhattan (and several variations)

The right way to make this classic cocktail and more to try

A bartender stirs a cocktail in a mixing glass.

One of the world's most ubiquitous cocktails, the Manhattan cocktail has been enjoyed by spiritous imbibers since it was made famous at the legendary Manhattan Club in New York City sometime around 1880. Even while falling in and out of fashion throughout the years, Manhattan has withstood the test of time to firmly cement itself as one of the great classic cocktails of all time.

As with many classic cocktails, the origin of the Manhattan drink recipe is murky at best. The most popular theory is that the drink was invented by Dr. Iain Marshall at a party for Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of Winston Churchill, held at the Manhattan Club. Sounds plausible, but this story never happened. It was later verified that Lady Churchill was never partying it up in New York at that time as she was pregnant at home in England. What is for sure is that the Manhattan emerged on the scene in the 1880s. The earliest known mention of both the name and the Manhattan cocktail ingredients was in September 1882 in the Sunday Morning Herald in Olean, N.Y.

What is orange wine? This trendy wine has a long history

All about orange wine

orange wine

One of the trendiest wine stories of the last decade is actually one of the oldest. Orange wine, born in the republic of Georgia some 8,000 years ago, is a wine that falls beautifully in between a white and a red. Made by way of extended skin contact, orange wines offer lots of flavor, structure, and texture.

Also known as amber wine or skin-fermented white wine, orange wine does often live up to its billing. The yellow-orange hue comes from all that extra skin contact, a process that also give the wine more complexity and tannin. And that color can change depending on just how much skin-contact there is in the process (compared to a true white wine where there is no skin contact).
