Bernie did an in-depth interview with the Owner and Distiller: Jerry Rowland, who was so kind as to give us one of these bottles!
This is an Earl Gray Gin that was smooth, and went down well, and is different from London Dry Gin – the juniper is second in character to the tea. After 12 months and 10 botanicals, aroma, flavor, balance, and stability are perfect. It is a daring twist on the classic gin, infused with the aromatic elegance of Earl Grey tea. Crafted with 12 botanicals, including black & brown leaf Formosa Oolong, Orange Pekoe, and a hint of cinnamon, this gin is a single distillation masterpiece. At 47% ABV, it boasts a deep tea flavor with citrusy bergamot and a whisper of cookie dough.
What I tasted is a muted aroma of brown sugar and milk chocolate. The elegant yet assertive palate entry is firm, peppery, moderately sweet, and cane-like; at mid-palate the texture turns silky, semisweet and cocoa-like to the taste, and eminently elegant and sophisticated in style!

& After the great meeting at last year’s DPA EMMY Gift Lounge, Margie again had an in-depth, and fascinating interview with Book Author: Maureen Anne Meehan, who is a remarkable and multi-talented individual whose life journey is as captivating as the stories she weaves. With a solid foundation in education, Maureen initially embarked on a career in law, ultimately rising to the esteemed position of judge. However, her life took a dramatic turn following a tragic event that ignited her passion for storytelling, leading her to create an enthralling world of legal thrillers.
Hailing from the charming town of Sheridan, Wyoming, Maureen draws inspiration from the breathtaking landscapes and rich culture of her home state, which serves as the backdrop for her nine compelling novels. Now residing in sunny Southern California, she shares her home with her beloved rescue kittens and enjoys the occasional visits from her four adult children, who bring warmth and joy to her life.
Maureen’s literary works have garnered significant recognition, including a feature in the prestigious New York Times Magazine, a testament to her skillful storytelling and unique voice. Her gripping narratives have captivated readers, particularly through her popular Mary MacIntosh series, which includes titles such as “Dying to Ski,” “Snake River Secret,” “Powder River Poison,” “Pandemic Predatory,” “Poisoned by Proxy,” “The Five,” “Rodeo,” “Deputy Dawg,” “Pumpkin Buttes,” and “Prison Break.” Each novel is a thrilling ride filled with suspense, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
In addition to her successful legal thrillers, Maureen has also ventured into non-fiction, showcasing her versatility as a writer. Her latest works, “60 Dates in Six Months (With a Broken Neck),” “Push You Away,” and “Let Me Be,” reflect her keen insight into human experiences and relationships, adding another layer to her impressive literary repertoire.
Maureen Anne Meehan is not just an author; she is a storyteller whose life experiences and passions intertwine to create narratives that resonate with readers. Her journey from law to literature is a testament to the power of resilience and creativity, inspiring others to pursue their own passions and dreams.
She was so kind as to give us a copy of her book: “60 Dates in Six Months (With a Broken Neck),” that I read & loved it for a easy, and quick good read that was a very interesting story about dating and new relationships! She told us that this book was made into a movie, that was played by the beautiful actress that is 2nd from the right, next to Margie(on the extreme right) in the below photo, with Belinda on the extreme left, with Maureen 2nd from the left, next to her poster for this movie. What really impressed everyone, is that this movie won an award at last year’s 2025 The Cannes Film Festival in France, for “Best Script Winner” for a short film @ Cannes Independent Shorts 2025!
