George Washington's wine listPosted Apr 10th 2006 7:06PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Wine, Cheese, Newspapers, The History of..., America, SpiritsA liquor order made by George Washington in August, 1776, was recently put on display at a whiskey trade show in
Chicago. The list, which belongs to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, includes orders for cases of
claret, muscat wine and cordials as well as a keg of brandy and a request for "2 cheeses—old—58
lb.," according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Sun-Times quotes a spokesman at Mount Vernon Estates and Gardens who says that the supply was not likely to be
Washington's private stash, but rather for entertaining officers and guests.
