Happy 400th! You don’t look a day over 398. And thanks(again)for all the energy you bring–not to mention the thunder.

QOTD: Banker’s Club, premium reserve. And by that, I mean the one that comes in the big plastic jug. Pretty sharp on the nose. Pretty stabby on the tongue. Has been known to eat through styrofoam cups (literally!).

Not my favorite vodka of all time, but it has induced my favorite college moments of all time.

I kind of of altered the parameters of the QOTD a tad.

Great show! Never saw a Vodka episode coming. A very pleasant surprise. And yes, I am one of those that watches the show to relax after work. It never fails to make me laugh and educate at the same time. Kind of like a circus clown teaching Physics, lol Keep up the outstanding work Gary!

QOTD: Right now I’d have to say Grey Goose. But the most memorable would have to be Taaka. Use to drink it all the time in college since it was so damn cheap! Bad hangovers though, I realized with age the benefits of a higher grade vodka ; )

Happy 400!

400 more? yes please.

QOTD: I’m not really a drinker of the heavy stuff. I stick to wine and a good beer here and there … so I’m afraid I don’t have a favorite vodka …. but I will represent for a delicious Tanqueray and tonic.

P.S. sorry GV but i gotta say I LOVE YOU GIANTS!! and this win was special for me since I’ve been a true blue Giants fan from birth and being a younger guy this is only the second super bowl I can really remember seeing! the first one of course was a crushing 35-7 loss at Baltimore … so I’m pretty stoked! So step off all you bandwagon jumpers! It’s not always easy being a giants fan! can I get an amen MOTT?!

As always, great show. That was the classic NJ bar.

QOTD: Vodka?! I just started drinking wine 4 years ago and I’m 45!

Does contributing content to the Thunder Show and sharing it with my friends count as spreading the Thunder? If not, I’ll have to try harder.

QOTD: Chopin. Love the oily texture, the clean finish, and the slight burn.

I work as a bartender (at a wine restaraunt) and being someone who appreciates the cocktails of the old school (and lots of flavor in my liquor), I often shun vodka the way it is used and abused by most westerners. The way Russians drink it, with some caviar or other rich food, is cool as hell. The way we do it here in the States, drowned in cranberry juice or tonic water, is not. I do however adore that original “flavored vodka” aka gin, so I guess my favorite brand there would be Junipero, made by Anchor Distilling out in San Fran. My favorite brand that anyone has heard of? Tanqueray, for sure.

Thanks for 400 great episodes.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I had vodka. I just don’t have the cash flow to get into anything other than some good beer from time to time and, of course, wine.

Oh jeeze, this this a little embarassing but us college kids like to spluge on Skyy vodka for sure. Maybe because of the bottle.. haha

Congrats on the 400th episode, I’ve been waiting all day!

I think my favorite part of this episode was… 400 more? wanna go for it?…. made my day!

GVNC,

I don’t drink vodka. I don’t drink beer. I don’t drink anything I can see through. Is Guiness beer? Does that count? OK, well…

A HUGE HUGE HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON 400 SHOWS. I LOVE THE THUNDER SHOW!!!!

Grey Goose…with cranberry, nice n smooth. This is when I rip up the dance floor!
Congratulations on 400! I look forward to your next 400+++!
P.s. Gary, Wine Library TV is on the home page and links page of my site: http://www.graziella.us

QOTD – last October I was in NY and went to The Russian Vodka Room off of Times Square. We enjoyed a round of their home made infusions – but then ordered off the menu. I really enjoyed Czars Gold vodka. Chocolate and spice with a slightly peppery finish – smooth and satisfying. From Russian – I can recommend it – you won’t be disappointed.

Will you do whiskey for episode 1000?

QOTD: Not a vodka lover.

Menel.

QOTD: Ciroc (Very different style of Vodka which is made from grapes) or the Boru from Ireland great stuff.

On a personal note, thanks for a great show and the energy you bring to the table every time is so lifeconfirming…. Thanks Gary ….

Gary! Congrats on #400!

QOTD: Absolut Vanilla

Feelin ya GV on the “Giant” depression brought on by the super bowl. I picked the right year I guess to miss the game. But being an Eagles fan it was still sad.

QOTD: Grey Goose L’orange but I am not a big Vodka drinker in general

Congrats on 400 GV, can’t wait for the next 400!!! I don’t mind sharing the superbowl love with you guys but it sure would have been nice to shut up the 72 dolphins.

WOOHOO almost 300 comments?! NICE! I dig the bar setting that was cool. When did you say the Niagara wines show was going to be?!

QOTD: not a big vodka drinker. had some finnish stuff at my buddy’s place before we went out one night – straight from the freezer it was really great.

great ep. Thanks for 400 shows, keep bringn’ the thunda
QOTD: Stolichnaya, keep a bottle in the freezer always.

I almost forgot the QOTD: it’s got to be grey goose…as it’s the best of maybe only 5-10 that I’ve tried in my life…

In another note…I have to say that I’m shocked, and dissapointed that we couldn’t get more coments. It is starting to feel like people won’t leave them unless WLTV is threatened with cancellation. I think it’s sad that we as viewers can’t take the…..what? minute….two minutes? that it takes to leave a coment about the show…we’re all busy…but come on. I’m full time CKC and working around 30 hours a week…and I still have the means to leave a comment here atleast 4 of 5 shows…

First of all, congratulations on the episode 400. Hope you manage to do at least as much episodes more, please keep bringing the thunder!

As for today’s show, I was really pleasantly surprised to see you taste the Bison Grass Vodka.
Here in Poland it goes by the name Zubrowka (Zubr is a rough equivalent of Bison) and is quite popular (costs about 7 bucks). According to Wikipedia, the US version might be somewhat different, see the article if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BBubr%C3%B3wka.

I recommend trying it mixed with apple juice, it’s a pretty good combo.

QOTD: My favorite vodka is Zoladkowa Gorzka (Bitter Stomach Vodka), don’t know if it is available outside Poland, but it has a very nice combination of herbs and roots so I highly recommend it if you happen to visit my country.

I am also waiting for the whiskey tasting show!
