Coming Up
At VinePair, the work sits between reporting and interpretation: alcohol, drinking, beer, craft beer, cocktails, breweries, bars, and food all fall within the same field of view. That breadth is the point. In this category, the writer has to read the bottle, the room, and the market at once, and Goldfarb’s output shows that kind of working fluency.
Where They Are Now
He serves as Spirits Editor and writer-at-large at VinePair. At VinePair, Goldfarb works from the center of the drinks conversation, where a single category can open onto production, service, and culture in the same piece. His coverage spans alcohol, drinking, beer, craft beer, cocktails, breweries, bars, and food, which gives the writing a practical reach: one assignment may stay close to the bottle, another may track how people drink around it. That is the shape of a reporter who can keep technical detail in frame without losing the wider scene.
Signature
Aaron's signature dishes include Dusty Booze, Gather Around Cocktails, The Gin Companion, and Hacking Whiskey. Dusty Booze, Gather Around Cocktails, The Gin Companion, and Hacking Whiskey point to a writer working across the long life of spirits writing: history, use, context, and the social practice around the glass. The range of titles shows a steady interest in how drinks are named, framed, and discussed, from the conversational pull of Gather Around Cocktails to the tighter category focus of The Gin Companion and Hacking Whiskey. Across that body of work, Goldfarb has built a voice that keeps drinks writing legible to general readers while still serving the trade.
