    Acidic beverages and tongue bite

    Let’s springboard off this article: https://tenor.com/view/christmas-is-coming-the-grinch-gif-13039628 I have not tried red wine with a bowl. I’ve learned that it doesn’t marry with cigars. Bourbon, slightly sweetened —an Old Fashioned, or a Manhattan— is the drink for cigars —or a...
