Vodka notes
Yes, people on the celiac listservs claim that distilled liquors are gluten-free.
Yet, when I ask them if they've specifically tried the liquor in question, I hear chirping of crickets.
I tried Smirnoff when I was still having diet control issues. I had a reaction. Don't know if it was the Smirnoff, since I was informed that it is made from corn, but not willing to try again.
When I was at Picazzo's Restaurant in Scottsdale, I was looking over their gluten-free menu. I got to their drink section. They listed their gluten-free beer, ciders, and their martini list with Chopin vodka (a potato vodka). I went back to the regular menu, and their martini list said they're made with Sky or Smirnoff.
The owner of Picazzo's went over the gluten-free menu with a dietician from ASU. I don't know what this proves or disproves. I just thought it was interesting that even those that are striving for gluten-free foods and drinks don't use Smirnoff or other distilled spirits, but potato vodka.
It makes me feel a bit better in justifying the cost of buying potato vodkas.
And speaking of potato vodkas, when boyfriend and I were browsing AJ's, we were compelled to check out their liquor section. It's kinda nice that they have a resident expert who's only job is to answer liquor questions. And boyfriend noticed that the Teton Glacial Potato Vodka was on the shelf. He picked up a bottle, and was stunned at the $23 price tag - which is $5 less than he pays for it at BevMo.
