Slow Vodka
I think that I have been posting too much about drinking lately, but this was a work event: Two representatives from Grey Goose visited the Slow Food office yesterday to make a presentation on the sustainability aspects of the vodka’s production. I learned a lot about how vodka is made and got to sample their new melon flavor — which was extremely impressive in how much it smelled and tasted like a deliciously ripe melon. Apparently using the “aromatic essence” of a flavor rather than an artificially created chemical “flavor extract” for taste is much more powerful and “natural.” The explanation for this complicated process went a little over my head, but it was a fascinating presentation.
