picoShots is a video podcast about all things alcohol related, with a focus on liquor. Wine and beer make appearances, but martinis, rums, vodkas and mixers are the real focus. As are gadgets and trinkets.
While we may be sarcastic, we take this topic seriously. Each episode is guaranteed to be informative. For an irreverant look at alcohol, try the TikiBar podcast.
