Fil Corbitt, creator of the Van Sounds Podcast, digs into Nevada's unofficial state drink, The Picon Punch. Stemming from Basque heritage that is still very much alive and well in northern Nevada, Fil explores the Picon's shades of brown by traveling to these historic, and now very iconic Basque Boardinghouses across Nevada. Included in this original Van Sounds episode, hear from JT Basque Bar & Dining Room in Gardnerville, The Martin Hotel in Winnemucca, Louis' Basque Corner in Reno, The Overland Hotel in Fallon, The Star Hotel in Elko, and the Shepherds Inn in Fresno, CA.
