A fuzzy fizz

The line between wine and beer tastes fuzzy. Not literally fuzzy, of course, but Cudera is the product of grape must and wort co-fermented with both wine and beer yeast. The coppery, rose-colored beverage pours like champagne, and like wine, becomes fruitier and mellower as it sits and breathes. Instead of a tannic aftertaste, you're hit with bready beer. You've probably never tasted anything quite like it. The grapes come from Napa Valley vineyards; the brewing pioneered by Ruhstaller is a collaboration with wine guys from Napa County and Italy.
