Today on the “VinePair Podcast,” spirits editor Aaron Goldfarb joins Adam, Joanna, and Zach to discuss our recent list of the best vodkas. The trio also debates whether drinkers are connecting with the clear spirit these days. Has the rise of the Martini, and particularly the Dirty Martini, given vodka a new relevance? Can cocktail bars find a role for it beyond either the classics or the “fruity/sweet” paradigm? Are producers doing anything interesting or innovative?
Zach is drinking: Jean-Louis Chave St. Joseph
Joanna is drinking: Evening Land Vineyards “Seven Springs” Chardonnay
Adam is drinking: Japonaise at The Rockwell Place
