So study up on pellet grills or indoor gadgets and peruse our complete glossary of grilling to learn how to truly smoke the competition. Still not convinced? Just wait until you see what your neighbors are working with… Today we’re looking at a utility butterfly knife, an off-road-ready E-Bike and a new foam clog. This is Today in Gear.

Welcome to the ‘Hood: Introducing My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet

My Favorite Neighbor

My Favorite Neighbor is the perfect companion for relaxing, warm summer nights. It’s a taste of California in every sip, created by farmer-winemaker Eric Jensen. To make My Favorite Neighbor, Jensen sources grapes from “A+” vineyards farmed by his winegrower friends in San Luis Obispo County. The grapes are grown with organic methods and the wine is made at the solar-powered winery in Paso Robles. The 2019 vintage is a standout, unlike any other you’ve had the pleasure of meeting. The palate will sense notes of black cherry, plum and medium roast coffee, while “silky tannins” yield an “extremely long and mineral finish” that will linger softly on your tongue and fondly in your memory – at least until you crack a second bottle. Also try other My Favorite Neighbor bottles, like MFN Blanc and MFN Rosé, both exceptional choices year-round.

A Knife Built to Dazzle

Terrain 365

Terrain 365 has released a new utility butterfly knife called the “Invictus Bali Ti.” The knife features titanium billet handles, a bronze bushing privet, a titanium spring latch and a rustproof Terravantium blade. The butterfly knife was inspired by the brand’s previous Invictus folder and follows in its predecessor’s footsteps as another high-end, top-shelf utility knife. The knife is currently available on the Terrain 365 site for $325 and is sure to wow any aficionado.

Harley-Davidson’s Serial 1 Unveils New E-Bike

Serial 1

Serial 1 is an E-Bike-focused brand housed under parent company Harley-Davidson. The team recently released a new, front-suspension ( or “Hardtail”) mountain-ready E-Bike called the SWITCH/MTN. The team calls the bike “extremely off-road capable” and it features high-volume Michelin E-Wild knobby tires as well as a fully adjustable suspension fork designed by Suntour called ZERON35BOOST AIR. The bike is available in two colorways and four sizes, and currently retails at $4,500.

An Investment Piece to Get Lost In

Norse Projects

Norse Projects came together with artist Geoff McFetridge to create one of the most interesting collaborations as of late. The line was inspired by the theme of “getting lost,” and while major gear heads are more than prepared to stay locked in on the trail, the motif is beautifully woven into a series of small artworks that are embroidered and printed within the garment – for the owner’s eyes only. The Twill Vest (available in Umber, Light Khaki and Hydron Blue) is a comfortable play on traditional outdoor vests and insulated with CashPad – an innovative textile made from recycled cashmere and wool jumpers. Fans can shop the vest for $365, with a 20 percent discount applied to purchases made in the United States.

Another Day Another Foam Clog

New Balance

If you’re still looking for a great beach-ready shoe, get ready for one that’s making waves. New Balance has announced the release of its new New Balance Clog, a slip-on mule available in black or beige and constructed from a single piece of foam. The clogs join a long list of foam runners and summer statement shoes from other brands but mark a slight departure for New Balance. The clogs will be available for purchase beginning today, July 1, via New Balance Korea for $68, with a possible worldwide launch on the horizon.
