EDITION 03 · SIX CONSIDERED POURS

After-Dinner Affairs

Coffee, cocoa, mint, and a well-earned pause.

For the moment when the plates are cleared and the conversation improves. Choose coffee and a little theatre, a creamy dessert-like pour, or a quiet two-bottle finish. Rich does not always mean sweet; let the exact house measures do the explaining.
