Congratulations on #400! You made me feel guilty for being a lurker so I had to leave a comment! I’d love to work at the wine lib! It’s too bad I don’t know anything about wine!

Thanks for the 400 shows GV.

QOTD: I’ve been vodka free for years.

Mr.Ambassador
Yay! 400 more!

Even though my team wasn’t Superbowl bound it was still a great show. Our party bet for next year was “who will be the halftime performer in ‘09?” We had some fun brainstorming and guessing for next year…

QOTD – Favorite vodka, hmmm… Not much of a vodka drinker so I really haven’t sampled many. I did like one variety called “Pearl” though I haven’t sampled any truly “high-end” or “rare” vodkas.

QOTD: Love the grey goose, but also like to infuse some Absolut Citron with blueberries for a week or two!

Thanks a million for all 400, GV. You rock. Here’s to 400 more, cheers!

Way to go, Giants! Only 2 more to catch my Steelers…

QOTD: I have to go with 2 favorites – one sentimental and the other drinking-wise. Sentimental favorite is Stolichnaya – we used to get it for a dollar a bottle in the Soviet Culture store in East Berlin during the 80’s!
The other is Wodka Chopin, an incredibly smooth Polish vodka.

“Zubrowka” is actually pronounced Zuh-brouv-ka. I went to the bottling plant in the Polish town of Bialystok (yes, like Max Bialystock from the “Producers”). In fact, I represented an American company called Central European Distribution Company when it purchased Polmos BiaÅ‚ystok from the Polish government. At the factory, I saw the little old ladies putting blades of buffalo grass in the bottles, one bottle at a time. It was amazing.

Zubrowka is traditionally drunk with apple juice. It makes a great mixed drink!!

Congratulations on your 400th show. I love the shows and look forward to many more. Stoli , Belvedere, Finlandia. Grey Goose Vodkas. “Gary, you should do a single malt Scotch episode sometime and some other liqours such as Cognac, and, Rocco. “Mott, congratulations to NYG – MEN which will go down as the greatest upset in Super Bowl History thus far. It is amzing to what individuals can do when they play as a team rather than a team of individual superstars. I would love to ask the self centered arrogant Randy Moss how he likes playing the past 15-1 Vikings and currently 18-1 Patriots without winning the big one and no Super Bowl Ring to show.

I donâ€™t drink much vodka. About all I have ever had is cheep stuff. Itâ€™s not my favorite drink.

QOTD: Stoli Orange (sp?)
From a Pats fan, the Giants earned that championship ring and I was impressed. They had a great run and have a great tradition.
To everyone who just ‘hates’ the Patriots, I understand where you are coming from (Sox v. Yanks) but jealousy just makes you look small.

To Gary V., it has been great and I look forward to seeing you this weekend.

GV, being a Tulane man in LSU Tiger country, I feel your pain. Arch nemesis wins the big, man, that sucks!

QOTD: Rarely drink vodka, but I’d say old school straight Stolichnaya, no flavors please. You did say we have a week or two to work on the spreading the thunder, I think I’ll start tomorrow by making the national news. Yes, Mardi Gras hammered by “THUNDERSTORMS” hundreds of thousand will hear the thunder in the Big Easy tomorrow courtesy of yours truly.

Did you say Eminem got into the wine business? WTG, Slim Shady!

Congrat’s on the 400!!

Absolut is my go-to vodka for my martini. Keep the vodka and the martini glass in the freezer at all times. BUT – to really taste the vodka you should try it at room temperature. It will surprise you. There is an awsome vodka made in New Port Richey Florida called Empire T&W American Luxury. Incredible vodka – even tastes great at room temp. Try it!

Gary,

OK you win, this was a good show.

I’ll do a post about you and your site on my blog. It probably won’t win me anything but you deserve it as a 400th episode BD gift.

Congratulations Mott and Thanks for all the phenomenal shows and I look forward to many more. QOTD- The best vodka I ever had was a ginger infused vodka at a bar in Paris. Any house infused vodka is usually the best.

QOTD: “Hanger One” is really startling; extremely clean and with an ephemeral exotic fruit finish that completely evaporates in about one second.

BTW, I regularly use the trick of running entry-level vodka through a new Brita filter 8 or 10 times: it really does work to make the vodka much cleaner and more pleasing. It doesn’t bring it up to the level of “Hanger One,” but it gives you a nice, clean vodka that makes killer Limoncello, also useful for cooking and homemade extracts.

(I find all commercial limoncello to be “meh” but homemade is a real treat. It’s worth the trouble.)

Thanks for 400. Looking forward to as many more as you can manage.

And now, back to lurking.

Wow, congrats on the 400. Not my choice in vodkas, as I’ll go Belvedere or Hangar One for the thunder. Seriously, I am a Patriots fan, but what a bummer to have this milestone the day after the other team wins. That would be like a 49ers fan having to show up to work in Oakland the day after the Raiders win the Super Bowl. Except that will never happen, so I guess not…

Congrats on the 400th Show!
QOTD: Don’t drink much Vodka – many years since I had some.

AOTD: Stoli is like an old confidant–always there when you need it. Not too pretentious either.

I tend not to drink vodka by itself, but I do think that Grey Goose is good in Cosmopolitans and Black Russians.
