For this tasting I was joined by Sother Teague, bartender, drinks writer, and host of The Speakeasy Podcast at his bar Amor y Amargo in NYC’s East Village. Sother is known for his love of bitter and amari, so I brought him the closest thing I’ve found from Grandma’s collection – a Bottle #42: Dubonnet. This classic French fortifed wine has a long history, including being a favorite of the recently departed Queen Elizabeth. We tasted my tiny bottle of 1970s French Dubonnet up against two comparison bottles: a modern bottle of French Dubonnet and a modern bottle of American Dubonnet from Heaven Hill. While two products with the same name, they diverged from each other around World War II, so this was a really interesting opportunity to see how they all compared!
