Washington Wine Country Vodka
Vido starts where most vodkas don't — with premium wine grapes from the Monson family's Goose Ridge Estate in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Distilling wine grapes 24 times concentrates their clean fruit character while leaving the spirit supple and round, a world away from grain-neutral harshness. The brand's profile rose with its partnership around Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena and the Kraken, but the liquid earned its own spotlight: a 93 from The Tasting Panel is rarefied air for vodka.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand and published reviews: soft and aromatic on the nose with white grape and citrus blossom; a silky, rounded palate of green grape, pear, and a mineral snap; an exceptionally clean, lingering finish.
How to Enjoy
Try it in a Vodka Soda with a grapefruit twist — the grape base shines — or a dry Martini where the texture carries the drink. Excellent over a single large cube.
