Hey Gary, I just can’t belive you tried polish vodka! 🙂 Thanks for that!

QOTD: Actually it’s Zubrowka (the Bison Grass Vodka you just tried). If I drink vodka, I choose this one, but you’re right, it’s just too sweet to drink it straight. Try mixing it with apple juice and ice and you will get one of the most popular cocktail drinks in Poland.
Besides I live in a city, where the original Bison Grass Vodka is being produced exported from. It’s only about 30 miles from the only place, where you can see the european bisons in wilderness.
That’s why I treat this episode very personal. Thanks again.

QOTD: Stolichnaya of course! ( http://www.stoli.com/ )
‘grats on making 400, a diversion from the norm, but

QOTD: Youri Dolgoruki. A friend of mine moved here from Russia and said this was the best she knew of. It is a little hard to come by unless you have friends that can bring it when they visit.

drink mostly absolut…but my fav one just to have is called Most Wanted Vodka. Made in Leavenworth, KS. That stuff’ll make the jail house rock.

400…thats an enormous number GV, but I wouldn’t expect anything less of you. 400 more will fly by! Great change up for the day, the cuts definitely made the episode exciting, keep it going!

QOTD: Ketel 1 is very good for traditional vodka, but I have to agree with you, the O2 is very “non-vodkaish” but very smooth, yet still slightly harsh like vodka is supposed to be, but it is almost champagne-like.

Mott says “Link that up Vaynerchuk!” Niccee!

QOTD: By far, my fave vodka of all time is Stoli. I have been drinking a lot more Belvedere lately, and have to say that it is much more smooth and drinkable. I will never touch Grey Goose, period! I hope the Grey Goose people paid their marketing folks a TON of money, because it’s all hype. Sorry you had to watch your 2 most hated teams duke it out, but still, I am SOOOOO HAPPY the Patriots lost. Put a smile on my face!

YAY 400! HERES TO 400+ more!

I’m in a bit of a somber mood today too Gary, I lost $120 on a football pool Sunday – I wasn’t rooting for anyone… I need a 4 (both last numbers added) to win. I had it until the very end! But I’m glad the Pats lost.. so I know how ya feel.

QOTD: The word vodka is Russian for “little water”.
My signature cocktail is Diet Pepsi and vanilla vodka (Tastes like a vanilla coke). I love love love Absolut Vanilla. Yummy!
When I’m in a Cosmo or strait vodka martini mood, I like Kettle One.
Mostly, I’m in a wine mood lately.

QOTD pt 2: Oh my… and Stolichnaya! They make a great Vanilla Vodka too!

I will drink Chopin Polish potato vodka, from the freezer, in honor of 400 more shows. Congratulations.

I am a northern Cali girl so I am going to have to go with Hanger One or Charbay !!! Congrats on 400 awesome episodes !!!!

Oh yeah, big ups to Hangar 1. Support quality US-produced vodka! It really is fantastic.

congratulations, GV! looking forward to 400 more of the same good stuff.

QOTD: no vodka for me, unless it’s in a very bloody mary (oy vey – russian forefathers turning in their graves…)

QOTD: while Iâ??m primarily a wine drinker, I do love a good vodka martini from time to time (with just a kiss of vermouth & double olives-stuffed-with jalapeno). I generally buy Belvedere, but Iâ??m willing to try something else if anyone has a suggestion.

GaryV, I have to tell you my favorite vodka story. In the 1980s, when I was an undergrad in college, one of my best friends took me home to visit her family in Cody, Wyoming. We drove there to attend a family friendâ??s annual Russian Easter party. Other than the two of us, the youngest person was her mother â?? just about everyone else was in their 70s & 80s (and one man was 98!). Several were of Russian descent, and most had moved to what was then a rough and tumble wild west as young adults or teens. One man was the grandson (his father was adopted) of Buffalo Bill Cody. These people had incredible stories to tell, and they also shared some amazing vodka. Most of it was drunk frozen, which we had as shots in between the deviled eggs topped with caviar. The party took place in a home that overlooked a Victorian building that used to be a famous brothel. Iâ??ll never forget the moment of silence, as these old men bowed their heads in respect. . . then we all tossed back shots, throwing some vodka over the bluff to sprinkle the ground in memory of the deceased madame. We gathered around the piano after that, singing old western songs and learning Russian toasts. It was just about as much fun as Iâ??ve ever had.

Congratulations on taping episode #400. Iâ??m looking forward to watching WLTV for at least 400 more!

400 on 400. Better than any top ten! Owned!

QOTD: Always Stoli’s – plain, with the handle (1.5L) for my Bloody Mary’s. Few tips on a great bloody mary.

On top of having a great mix you love
Always make it SPICY
Use COLD COLD – out of the freezed – vodka (hence why you need a handle to hold it)
Little bit of pickle juice
Also add a pickle
Use BM RIm salt
Add more celery salt
Add your fav hot sauce
