Thanks for the 400 shows GV.

QOTD: I’ve been vodka free for years.

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.

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!

Absolut Vodka usually with a dirty martini.

QOTD; Not a big vodka fan, Grey Goose was good but overpriced, Stoli Gold was also pretty nice,three olives is ok, Skyy is an american version of Absolute. I enjoy values, so I would probably pick Luksusowa potato vodka for about 12 bones. Pravda is excellent but over advertised, and overpriced.
Thanks for 400 episodes You Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

qotd – kettle one

fart bomb?

Thanks for 400 GV!

QOTD: Wyborowa from Poland was always my favorite.

Hey Gary, great show and happy 400th episode! 800 more? Bring’em on!

I’ve never had a really great vodka, but I’ve never really given vodka much of a chance as a quality alcoholic beverage. Something about it just screams drunken partying to me. I guess that shows my ignorance.

whoops…i meant 400 more…got a little bit ahead of myself

Two vodkas that I enjoy are Belvedere and Kettle One.

Thanks for sticking around Vaynerchuk.

QOTD: EFFEN Vodka is the nicest I have enjoyed so far. Although when I am drinking vodka it is just to get messed up, so I usually just hit the Hawkeye Vodka. It tastes like lighter fluid, but it works.

QOTD: Iceberg vodka

QOTD: Koliska brand vodka, made in beeeaaaauuuutiful Sheridan Wyoming (my hometown). In fact, I may be the ONLY Vaniac from the great state of WY.

Much love, GV.

QOTD: Absolute is my favorite cheap vodka. I like Kettle One and Stolichnaya for mid priced vodkas. I do not buy it often so that is all I have to offer.

Congrats on the 400 and GO BIG BLUE! QOTD: Just did a vodka tasting a few months ago with notes on the blog. I like Chopin since I drank quite a bit on a trip to Poland, but Reyka beat it out for the new top spot. Reyka is Icelandic and uses the volcanoes and hot springs in the distillation process. The result is a VERY smooth vodka, and the price is not too bad. I likey.

Great episode and happy 400th. I must say that I am not a vodka man (i.e. Freshman year and a bottle of mccormicks forever turned me off). But I am a scotch man, and my favorite bottle is most definitely McCullen’s 12 year. I’m a CKC so I go too expensive.

loved the show. not really into vodka, but i’d say that (qotd) wyborowa is my go to. love the polish stuff.
here’s to 400 more!

Congrats on #400!!

I’m totally addicted to your show, I look forward to it every day!

QOTD: Stolichnaya

good 400th episode, vodka was a nice change of pace. I would have done it blind, straight and mixed drink samples, and a greater variety in price. Vodka, like wine is often purchased based on label and hype. It would have been more interesting to see how the cheap ones matched up with the ultra-premiums….do we really need to filter them 6 times? Also, Dill flavored vodka is interesting, but not fairly tasted or evaluated with the others. I did find the sparkling one exciting, if not a bit overpriced. I assume it is meant for mixing, you know, doesn’t water down the tonic and all that. You should have an akvavit tasting episode sometime…If you need any future ideas for your thunder show, don’t hesitate to contact me. Really, i’ll be happy to give you credit.

QOTD: Viking Fjord- most things are better when they come from norway. When i go out and find that no bar in the area carries VF, i order grey goose, three olives, or van goh unless i’m mixing it with strong flavors or i’ve had more than 4 drinks (in which case your senses aren’t all that discerning and you might as well save some money). I’m still somewhat partial to absolut, with its awkward sweetness mixed with rubbing alcohol. Ah, memories of my childhood…..

“That’s clearly dill, all up in your grill.” – best quote ever.

QOTD: Since I’m still in college, my vodka experience has been either Karkov, Philips, Smirnoff, and Skyy. I guess my favorite of the four would be Smirnoff.

WOOHOO! 400 more!

QOTD: hanger one lime

Little MTV style action today with the editing…and that music during the wine tasting was cranked! I just use vodka in mixed drinks, but I have enjoyed the goose a time or two.

Lurker here, being brought out by the vodka QOTD.
My favorite is Oliphant
