Robert Simonson, spirits and drinks writer for the New York Times; contributing editor to and columnist for Punch; and author of many wonderful spirits-themed books joins Andrew to discuss the impact of the pandemic on the bar business, how the industry has responded, and what he's been imbibing at home. An alternately serious and good-humored conversation that reflects the way many of us are experiencing these unprecedented times.
Our thanks to S.Pellegrino for making these special reports possible.
