Wine Cellar Sorbets by Ami Kealoha

Wine Cellar Sorbets are a novel option for dessert or a creative addition to a meal. Made by two childhood friends in Brooklyn, sorbets currently come in seven different vintages starring some familiar wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Zinfandel. CH favorites include the Champagne, a subtle, less sweet choice with hints of lemon and fruit, and the Pinot Noir, which is dry with a distinctive wine taste that leaves the impression of blackberries. Presently available only in New York and New Jersey, look out for it at places like Whole Foods, Dean & Deluca, and Garden of Eden, as well as at NYC's weekly outdoor Real Food Markets.

The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....

Eight Salty, Sweet, Mouth-Puckering Licorices
by Karen McGrane Licorice seemed wrong and bad to me as a child, one of those things like coffee ice cream or kissing in movies that made me deeply suspicious of adult desires. As my tastes have matured so has my preference for licorice and I seek out only the darkest, chewiest, and most complex flavors. Used as a sweetener and a medicinal since ancient...
