Welcome to The Pour & Pondering.
Every week I'll pour something, and I'll ponder something. Some weeks it will be about a new batch we're working on, or something a customer said at the bar that stuck with me. Some weeks it will be about faith, or Auburn, or a funny moment from life in general. No sermons, I promise. Well, mostly.
Here's what I'm pondering this week: why do people linger at a bar? You can drink at home for less. But folks come in, sit down, and stay. I think it's because a good glass is better with company. Candy and I didn't open Cupka's to sell honey wine so much as to make a place where people want to stay a little longer. If we've done that for you even once, we're doing our job.
And here's what I'm pouring, my mead of the week is: Black and Blue Still wine, fruit forward and satisfying.
Pull up a stool next time you're downtown. I'll pour, you ponder.
