Humbled by Humboldt. Those three words sum up quite succinctly the primary emotion of the many emotions we are feeling this week. To help you understand why we feel this way, let us back up a few weeks. Completely out of the blue, we received an email from someone who was representing Humboldt Distillery based…
It is with some degree of incredulity that we find ourselves writing about the subject of this show. We have tried numerous types of beverages over the years and one of them that has consistently underachieved for our palates has been vodka. We have tried at least eight (maybe more), and while there has been…

The makers of White Lotus Vodka are jumping on the put vitamins in everything bandwagon and are adding vitamin-B to their vodka. They say research shows it offers some hangover reduction. Needless to say the nutritionist they…
This is a clip that aired in June of last year on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. In the clip they discuss the bacon flavored vodka I had previously posted about. Toward the end Conan has Andy Richter taste it and give his opinion. It goes without saying that this is…
