Yeah, I don’t want to be nit picky, and I know the comment was playful–just think it bears pointing out. I’m a big fan of this blog, btw.

Justin – I think Josh was being fanciful with the “racial profiling” comment, but your point is well taken.

Stereotypes may exist with Zinfandel because they’re true, but when you compare it to racial profiling it is misleading. Stereotypes about race exist because of implicit bias, not because of anything about the race(s) in question.

Comment on Review: Ruskova Select Vodka by John

I went to by a bottle of Smirnoff and he guy at the cash register recommended a bottle of Ruskova based on quality and price. I always keep my vodka in the freezer. When I went to the freezer to make a drink, the Ruskova vodka was nearly completely frozen. Not good. It guess it’s because the 40 proof the label says, is not true. It also has a slightly dirty after taste.

Bill – looks like it is no longer for sale at the moment. Best bet is to call Burdick at 800-229-2419. Good luck, they’re worth hunting down!

Comment on Review: Lucid Absinthe by Zen Piano

Hello all, I am writing this review because I had never tried Absinth until about a month ago I bought my first bottle of Lucid, I have to say the flavor is really good not many drinks give you the sensation of just brushing your teeth after drinking it. Although some of my friends thought it was a very strong taste you get use to it. I wasn’t a big fan of black licorice but that’s not all Lucid has to offer for one after the first drink you’ll know why its my new favorite drink its a feeling you get almost like your happy for no reason and its not the drunk feeling I know that feeling and its not that it something else. Don’t over do it this stuff is no joke.

Comment on Review: Firefly Skinny Tea Flavored Vodka by Matt

Bummer to read this- I liked it. Also liked that it was sweetened with truvia- not an artificial sweetener like you stated above.
There is always going to be a trade off I suppose, but I actually thought this wasn’t that bad
