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.

  • QOTD: More of a single-malt fan than a vodka fan. Last vodka I bought that I took note of as being better than usual was Van Gogh. Grey Goose has become the Santa Margharita Pinot Grigio.

    In the belief that slow & steady wins the race, I gotta declare that bulk-mailing and cramming WLTV down unsuspecting friends’ throats via guerilla marketing by lurkers and fans alike doesn’t demonstrate NEARLY the devotion to the core values of the show as individually recommending WLTV to friends, family, and colleagues via 1-on-1 personal conversation. I LOVE the show and I tell everyone who loves wine about it.

    QOTD: Ketel One

    QOTD: Not really a vodka drinker, though I occaisionally enjoy a vodka dirty martini, usually grey goose or ketel one. It is what it is.

    Congrats on the 400th GV! Congrats to Mott for the G-men coming through…I actually don’t like the Giants at all considering I’m Eagles fan…but I hate the Pats even more…Tom Brady’s a f…wait I said I’m not gonna say that word in front of kids. Wish I had known about the Boston expo much earlier, though I could just run into you when I visit the store next time…I imagine it’d be a great learning experience to be in an environment like that…hopefully next year.
    QOTD: Original 80 proof Belvedere…always enjoyed its purity while I look through the bottle to see the illustration of Poland’s presidential palace. That was easy question since I’m not a big time Vodka drinker, but had you asked about whiskey? whew…I would’ve written a novel…then again….I usually write on novel on these things and couple friends at work have called me a f….wait not in front of kids…for liking this show too much. Now friends who don’t appreciate a friend’s hobby can suck it (can I even say that?…Mott, bleep it up).

  • Thanks to our Vets!

    I wouldn’t want to do many more than 3 vodkas in a show! Loved the Dom P. opening for your Giants fans employees. Nice love.

    not a fan of the vodka. I’m more of a bourbon and whiskey kinda guy.

  • Mason

    I will never tire of hearing the word “fart” when describing a wine’s smell!!!! How awesome! Happy 400th, GV! Thanks for all the great shows.

    QOTD: I don’t usually spring for the vodka, but when I do I go for the Grey Goose.

    How I spread the thunder: Facebook posts, Facebook applications, Facebook status’, I wear my wristband(s) EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MySpace blogs, word of mouth and what my husband and I like to call “Random Gary Quotes”.

    I think you need to sponsor a Nascar race now…the Wine Library 400.

    I don’t like vodkas…in fact, I really don’t like any clear liquors. Bourbon and scotch are how I roll. Beam & Maker’s Mark are tough to beat. I went to Scotland this past summer and sampled my fair share of whiskey between rounds of golf. My favorite was a speyside called Clynellish and was extremely pleased to find it widely available here in the states. A pint of Belhaven’s Best Ale with a side car of Clynellish….oh baby.

    Congrats on 400 GV. Keep on keeping on.

  • 400. Auspicious. Kudos.

    QOTD: Zubrowka, actually. Not just saying that to be contrary. One thing I wonder about: the label on the bottle I had was *very* different that the one you tried. Are there varieties of this vodka? I don’t remember it being particularly over-sweet.

    Anyway, congrats, thanks, and can’t wait for the next 400!

  • Sean

    That episode threw me off but was amazing anyway. I like the idea of you venturing into the wider range of alcoholic beverages time to time as a little ‘treat’ for those of us who venture out there too.

    QOTD: Wodka Zoladkowa Gorzka is a really good vodka I found, but very powerful. Heavy herbal aroma and taste. Kinda like eating thyme leaves while being punched in the face.

    Okay, I’m done lurking! Congrats on 400 episodes, and thank you for agreeing to stick around. I look forward to 400 more.

    QOTD: Not a vodka drinker, not at all. Had to give it up after after my old high school buddy and I raided his dad’s liqour cabinet, grabbed a bottle of El Cheapo Crappo, and found a jar of Tang to mix it with. So long ago, yet still recalled with brutal clarity.

    More of a single malt scotch drinker than vodka but…I go for Ciroc when doing the vodka thing. Give it a shot.

    Big CONGRATS on episode 400!

    QOTD: I’ve had very few vodkas, and they’ve always been mixed.
