Introducing Comsi Comsa Apple Sparkling Wine

by xoJohn

Created and distributed by Sauvage, Comsi Comsa Apple Sparkling Wine, is an all natural, gluten-free and kosher sparkling wine. Not having ever heard of or seen another, I simply had to get my hands on a bottle of Comi Comsa,  French for “Like This, Like That.” This is the little story of how I absolutely fell in love with this 100% apples champagne.

Well, let’s start with what you’re probably thinking, which was what was going on in my mind before I tried it…how does one make apple champagne taste as good as the traditional thing?

Video: Inside ‘The House of Peroni’

by xoJohn

The House of Peroni has returned to New York City. Located in SoHo, the three-day pop-up celebrates a range of forward-thinking artists and creatives, including Robert Montgomery, Lauren Machen, Patrick Hughes, Annie-B Parson, Brandon Franklin and more. This time around it was curated by musician St. Vincent. When speaking on the curation, St. Vincent says, She says “I’ll be drawing upon the surrealism of Fellini, the whimsy of the Memphis movement, and the vibrancy of the modern Italian culture to curate various multi-medium experiences that are ultimately inspired by Italian art, culture, and design. I’m excited for what’s to come.”

The public popup will run Oct. 5 to 8 in SoHo (201 Mulberry St) with a schedule of performances, talks and artistic installations. For more information and to find out when the pop-up is heading to a city near you, visit Houseofperoniusa.com.

New York City has many hidden gems and we love discovering them, like this new sensational speakeasy, called Mr. Cannon. Located in the newly renovated South Street Seaport area, Mr. Cannon is the latest adventure from Howard Hughes Corporation and The Lure Group. Mr. Cannon boasts a cocktail and champagne-only menu; no food is served but you can always stop Seaport Food Lab or other eateries nearby. The new hotspot is about 600-square ft and has a 19th-century vibe. The space is low lit and houses a few artifacts and woodcut portraits of their fictional yet dapper character, Mr. Cannon. Mr. Cannon is a sharply dress rat that puts those underground New York City vermin to shame.
