VinePair Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Adam and Zach discuss the state of modern bartending, and the growing gap between bars that aspire to a certain kind of global fame and acclaim and the bars that want excellent cocktails but not necessarily drinks that can only be had at that specific bar. Are those kinds of destination bars built for the long haul, or just capitalizing on a trend that might lose steam at any moment?

Much of the wine press might be up in arms about the lack of wine in Hulu's hit show The Bear, but Adam, Joanna, and Zach don't really see the issue. For one, wine just doesn't tend to work well on screen, and for two, it's not as if there haven't been plenty of other shows that have heavily featured wine, for better or worse.

Adam and Zach discuss an emerging trend in wine service, where in lieu of a printed menu, a selection of wines are brought to the table and offered to guests.
