Have
you noticed? Berries are front and center at the grocery stores right
now. You could stop at strawberry shortcake. Or, you could opt for
these Berry Delicious
ideas. Bakers, mix berries into triple berry scones to smear with
homemade raspberry butter, fix a pan of banana-berry baked oatmeal for
breakfast or wow the dinner club with a multi-layer lemon blueberry
cake. Drinks on the deck or potent potables for the pool? Mix up berry
sangria, blackberry whiskey lemonade, blueberry mojitos, thyme berry
sparklers or skinny berry smoothies. Counter rising temperatures with
strawberry lime sorbet, blueberry popsicles and raspberry rose sundaes.
Bottom line, bury your cart in berries and rejoice.

Sip What’s Near and Dear – Limited Edition 25-Year Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon at The Southern Gentleman
One bottle. That’s all. Be one of the lucky diners at The Southern Gentleman to indulge in limited edition 25-year Pappy Van Winkle
bourbon. Bourbon connoisseurs know this elixir is to be savored and
rolled across the palate. The Van Winkle family distillery produced
fewer than 1000 bottles and just 710 bottles have been filled and sold –
which works out to fewer than 15 bottles per state. A one-ounce neat
pour carries a $350 price tag. Impressive? You bet. But then, so is The
Southern Gentleman -- and its notable bourbon program -- in the Shops
Buckhead Atlanta.
