    The Festival Vintage

    Red wine spritz with fig, rosemary & sparkling water — every festival has a vintage

    Every festival has a vintage. Some years require adjustment.

    Why this cocktail? Lee says every festival has a vintage. This red wine spritz — patient, complex — honors that wisdom.

    The Story

    Schrager compares festivals to wine — every year has its vintage. It was always Wine & Food, not the other way around, because wine needed context and emotion. This red wine spritz with fig and rosemary is that patience: aged, complex, and served with the understanding that not every vintage is the same.
