Acid League launched as an experiment vinegar company, recently introducing Wine Proxies as a whole new category of beverage—not dealcoholized wine, but layered blends of juices, teas, spices, bitters, and more designed to pair with food and be enjoyed in your finest stemware. While some of their Proxies are meant to be directly analogous to wine, others are more experimental. All are designed to pair with food. For "Pastiche" the inspiration is Alsatian Gewürztraminer — lychees combine with pineapple, peach, and rose vinegar, underscored by bitters crafted from pink peppercorn, amchur, galangal, and clove. Tropical Mosaic hops and a blend of teas complete the package, bringing a lush texture and long finish to this arrestingly aromatic white.
