Tasting in a Box of Vodkas
Ever found yourself in a frozen room full of high end vodkas? With sculptor/potter Peter Shire and a few friends? And one of you – not sure which – is wearing a leopard skin pillbox hat? Well, it happened to me a few weeks ago, in Beverly Hills. Oh, yeah, I think I was the one wearing the Russian-style white fur coat with matching tall hat. The (faux) furs — provided by the restaurant — are necessary when you enter the refrigerated VodBox for a tasting of luxury vodkas from around the world, some so rare even I had never heard of them.
I don’t usually have much of a tolerance for the cold, but my appetite for vodka seemed to go way up when I was in that fun room. Sipping and tasting. It was one of those “what’s not to like?” moments.
By the way, anyone can sign up for the VodBox experience, dreamed up by long-time L.A. restaurateur Larry Nicola for Nic’s on Canon Drive.
