For some of us, tea is caffeinated fuel for the daily grind. But in the Indian state of Sikkim, Nikhil Pradhan considers it an economic lifeline. Once an independent Himalayan kingdom bordering Bhutan, Tibet, and West Bengal, then annexed by India in 1975, Sikkim is remote. Really remote.

In the last five years, there are few American companies that have carved out a spirits niche quite like Found North. A non-distilling producer, the brand specializes in blended Canadian whisky at cask strength, which often includes a wide range of aged components in addition to intricate cask finishes. Perhaps most impressively, they’ve grown by marketing to bourbon consumers, not a group traditionally known for its love of Canadian distillate.

Cabernet franc from a Greek island? This unexpected, dense red comes from grapes grown on 35-year-old bush vines, and I highly recommend some airtime before you really tuck into it. While a bit brashly sweet at first, showcasing raspberry and cherry notes, the wine soon settles into a groove that showcases a more complex collection of flavors spanning anise, black tea, and green peppercorn.

While the shift does make bottle and by-the-glass lists less intimidating, thus preventing restaurants cellars from clogging with dusty bottles, it may not be the best thing for the wine world. In reality, finding the good in any situation where wine becomes a less important part of a restaurants beverage program is challenging.
