Favorite vodka is Reyka, from Iceland. Filtered through volcanic rocks, possibly the ones that wrecked airplane travel months back. Very clean, great packaging, little booklet. If I can't find that, there's some beautiful plastic jugged varieties out of the Irvington region of Jersey.

    I thought it was cool that the superbowl was in my hometown (Glendale), otherwise, not a fan of either team. Congrats on 400. I think it’s neat to look at some of the early shows and you’re just so mellow, like “Hi, I’m Gary, thanks for tuning in” Now I have to turn down the volume and avert my eyes else be bowled over with your ‘thunderous’ energy! Its all good bro.
    QOTD: Haven’t had much vodka since the mid-80’s when I snuck some (via water bottle) into an outdoor concert…it was Def Leppard and Europe (“The Final Countdown”). I think I remember the first song, that’s about it. And I remembered not to drink vodka ever again. Maybe I need to try it again with my mature palate!

    Question of the Day

    Since I’m not much of a vodka drinker, i’ll have to sheepishly admit that Grey Goose is the best vodka I have had.

  • Great opening, especially the Oak MOTTster. “Link that up, Vannahchuk!” I can’t wait to see your new MLIU t-shirt designs.

    Did those Wine Librarians win a bet or something – is that why they got the Dom and the episode intro today? Lots of New York bragging from a bunch of guys in New JERSEY. Hmmm.

    I love that Episode 400 was mostly vodka. (And you mentioned herb? Ha. I’m already predicting that Episode 500 will be taped in Amsterdam.)

    The 02 sparkling vodka sounds wild – but only for sipping. Once you mix it with soda, the whole point is gone, right? And the Burdundy rouge sounds great – mmmmm… a radish fart bomb. Sounds awesome, Gar.

    QOTD: Favorite vodka? So far, it’s Skyy Vanilla. But I was hoping you’d taste Ciroc – I’m pretty curious about trying that one.

    I thought the best part of the Superbowl was Tom Petty
    QOTD…Love my wine but I don’t touch distilled spirits.

  • Ric Vinhage

    Gary!

    Great goobily moogily! Ep400 rocks! Have only been watching for a month or so but I have learned to not snob under 20 bone wine. Thank you! My wife thanks you!

    Try Korean Soju sometime. I would suggest “San” “Chamisil” and “Jinro” Their profiles can be appreciated if you appreciate vodka!

  • QOTD: I’m not a big Vodka guy but I’ve been given a few bottles of Chopin (from Poland) and really enjoyed it.

    QOTD:
    After trying many volka in blind tasting get togethers with my friends.
    Beleive it or not, Smirnoff was my favorite.
    If you don’t beleive me, try it in a blind taste test for yourself.

  • Minda

    Congrats on #400! I have to agree with all the Hangar One lovers- so delicious! They have a chipotle infused one that makes the best super spicy Bloody Mary. Heavy Water is also good- very clean and smooth.

    QotD: I’ve got to say that Smirnoff treats me right. I’m a fan of versatility; what else can I say?

    I’ve had Gray Goose one time when I was with a friend one evening, and it had some serious bite, but I’m actually intrigued by the O-2 Vodka that you just reviewed.

    I guess I’m going to have to link myself up with some O-2 nest time I go hunting for some hard liquor.

  • Garyh

    first, football. i don’t get the ‘world champions’ thing. when i was a very young kid, i briefly collected gum wrappers. now maybe i could have declared myself to be the world gum wrapper collecting champion. but – if no one else in the world cares about that hobby (as they shouldn’t), does that label mean anything? similarly, no other countries my knowledge, except the canadians (eh?), play pro football – and we don’t even play the canadians for the ‘world championship.’ so that title just seems goofy to me. anyway, congrats to the world/national/whatever champions. glad that’s over so i won’t (hopefully) hear of the giants or patriots for a while and i can turn my rant mode off. 🙂

    qotd: i only drink vodka in mixed drinks. since the quality is lost in the mix, i don’t care much about brands. i buy ketel one just in case i have someone over who cares.

  • Plminer

    Thanks for the 400 episodes of brilliance GV, you rock!
    QOTD: Greygoose is my go to Vodka, but I had some crazy schnizza a few years ago brought over from Russia, smooth as silk! Wish I remembered the name…

  • JK from WV

    Come on Gary, give a little shout out to the Giant and their fans. I bet you took a beating today and rightfully so. Great game.

    Good show and congrads on 400th show.

    QOTD: I’m not much on vodka either, I like gin.
