***Speaking of vodka, which is the best?

I don't know if there is a single best one, but here are some recommendations for tomorrow's diner.

Ignore the Absolute, Finlandia end some such - the Coca-Cola's of vodka. For number of years my personnal favorites have been Polish brands: Wyborowa and Luxusova (sp?). And of course, the old reliable - red label Stolitchnaya.

EXTREMELY recommended is the Pertsovka. It is lower in alcohol (maybe only 60 proof) and with a unique pepper flavor. It is light brown in color and most good stores have it. Try it - you'll love it.

I suspect that that was the ill-fated "Perzovka" in the Razor's Edge. In such case it was very well worth it.

***And it sure taste better kept in the
freezer.

That is the best advice. Yes, the freezer, not just the refrigirator. Don't worry, it will not feeze, but will pour like a 20W50 motoroil. It will be much more enjoyable to drink.

Drink it with some good chaser. Pickled herring is traditional, pickled anything (cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) is great.

And my old-time favorite - hot soup. Can't beat this one.

As far as the wine for turkey - some like the Gewurtz. I always go for a nice young red. Good time to buy it is now.

Enjoy...
