Think white wine is confined to summer sipping? Cooper & Thief Cellarmasters is here to change the game. Aged in ex-tequila barrels, 2016 Cooper & Thief Sauvignon Blanc is a crowd-pleasing, cocktail-friendly choice that transcends seasons when served in a chic ceramic set.
Always experimenting, Cooper & Thief tapped revered mixologist Elliott Clark (@apartment_bartender) to create two refreshing wine cocktails featuring the Sauvignon Blanc. Designed to please oenophiles and spirits enthusiasts alike, the White Wine Paloma and Pine & Wine deliciously complement Cooper & Thief’s classic citrus and spice notes that express like a fine blue agave tequila.
But to truly carry white wine over the summer finish line, standout drinkware is a must. Brooklyn-based Ceramicist Josephine Heilpern of Recreation Center(@josephinenoel) teamed up with Cooper & Thief to craft a custom ceramic drinking set. A twist on the traditional Mexican Talavera-style “Tequilero” serving ceramics, the Cooper & Thief x Recreation Center Carafe Set is handmade to enjoy white wine anytime. $175, RecreationCenterShop.com.
