Omnivore - When you think of the best bourbon bar in Atlanta...
Wine Spectator mentions some of our nation's best whiskey bars

- Pappy Van Winkle on the list at Mac McGee's
Wine Spectator magazine, that big glossy ode to big glossy wines, recently published a very nice issue dedicated to American whiskey. They start off by discussing some of the amazing bourbon bars around the country - Delilah's in Chicago, the aptly named Bourbon in Washington, D.C., Bourbons Bistro in Louisville. Then, they quickly mention a handful of like-minded examples around the country - Village Whiskey in Philadelphia, Rickhouse and Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco, d.b.a. in New York, the Vortex in Atlanta .... Wait, what? Of all the whiskey bars in Atlanta they could feature, they chose the Vortex? Is there a burger angle hiding in here somewhere?
