You are what you eat… you are what you drink.
What did the presidents eat and drink?
Before I got into wine, I was a history major in college. So, I have had a lot of fun researching the wines of the presidents. Which president was called the Madeira Man? Who loved the Bordeaux wines the most? What were the top wines served at state dinners over the years? Which presidents drank whiskey and which presidents didn’t drink at all (hint: Trump and Biden)?
This is an example of a typical Presidents Wine Tasting.
