NORTHFIELD, Ohio – When Joe Zaucha got into the importing business he probably never thought he would be getting a lesson in geography.
Zaucha, a Northfield wine and spirits importer, sells Polotsk Vodka from Belarus. He stumbled into it less than two years ago, was impressed, and made a bid to import it. Late last month, he learned it earned a gold medal in the Vodka category at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Results were made public about 11:30 a.m. today.
