No wonder you and Guyon can communicate so well.
You know, I think you're right!
I wonder if Guyon has also been distilling Everclear? That would definitely explain his unique posting style...

I have no idea what either of you is talking about.

That and the fact that he actually CAN write the English language in many styles.
In that way he reminds me of my girlfriend, but she may even be funnier. I have often though of telling her about reading and posting here but I just cant. She and Guyon would have too many death chats.:foot:

Finally, the secret of Guyon's knife collection is revealed!
It's a strong tradition ... in them hills!

Vassili, what will is cost me to have you send me some of that stuff! Good God!!
Thanks, Vassili.
I generally have Kettle One handy. Recently tried Titos and 360 Vodka. Of the two, I like 360 better as it is a more smooth Vodka at any temp. My staples going forward are Kettle One and 360 (won't buy French Vodka).
By far, the best I have ever had was a brand called Baikal Vodka. Sold at Trader Joes, imported from Russia. I believe it was the Summer in 1998. By far the best Vodka I have ever had. They went out of business, but OMFG, hands down the best I have ever tasted. They used water from deep in Lake Baikal and it tasted so clean I thought I had gone to Vodka heaven.
Everything since has been compared against it and failed...

Are you sure we can't get Jewel or Standard out here where we live?? I'm usually enormously busy and scatterbrained ... but there must be SOME place where you and I can 'score' one or the other!

You know, you and I live in NOVA, as do I think a few others. De Opressor Libre (Sp?) is in MD. Me need a Vodka, Single Malt, INFI fest somewhere around here...
No kidding...
There is a killer Russian Deli here in Herndon. No Vodka, but I have picked up some nice Russian and Polish beers there... The Smoked Fish isn't too bad either!

Hmm. A good idea. I can bring the Single Malt!! And, maybe, a little bit of INFI...
I'm insanely busy and scatterbrained these months, though. If someone is brave enough to set something up, I'll find SOME way to attend, though...
You know ... the doggone Russian Embassy is right down-town. There definitely has to be a way to solve our dilemma. I'll do some 'calling around' for diplomatic favors Monday or Tuesday and see where it leads me. I've done enough international favors that they can at least point me to some sources ...

My local liquor store had a sale on those as an introductory offer, you know first bottle you buy and then you buy again no matter the increase in cost, anyway they had only a crate :grumpy: and it was $16/bottle needless to say I had a BIG party which I don't remember.
But if you are serious I can send ya one, supermarket next to me sells them they have regular, and platinum I believe,
lately its been cognac (henessy privileged) and Wine (porto) for me though.

Email me at jeepnut22 AT hotmail DOT com. We can chit-chat there...
OldPhysics, let me know what I can do to help! I can bring my pile of INFI as well! I'll check out the family calendar (and beg) and see if there is an opening for a get together.

Is "Beverage and More" all US wide network? Because this is where I get it from. It is around 20 but on sale it was 17... There are too many Russians here so you need some luck to get it, it does not stay for a long there...
There is one Russian place in Bay Area where Middlfield splits to two Old Middlefield and New Middlefield, called something like Euromart (for some reason this people from Russia who open stores here call all of them Euro-something, like it is Europeeeean not Russian). They have also vodka from Ladoga plant (St.Petersburg), from Nemirov (Ukraina but still Russian Vodka) etc. pretty good choice.
Thanks, Vassili.

Nemiroff isn't bad, being the only one here with peppered vodka. They are really pushing their advertisement all over Russia. I like Moskovskaya vodka, when I'm already a little buzzed, it has A LOT of taste.
The best was home made stuff I tried at my friends grandparents, we visited them in the village, and his grand pa used to make his own flavored vodka, he poured us a glass full of murky liquid, and we drank it in a gulp, it tasted like a spiked juice or something, but it burned, can't recall much after.
