Dont judge a Vodka by its maker. judge it by how much you can drink in one night and still see straight the next day. --Just kidding sort of The Vodkas that are distilled more times (three is a good one) tend to be the better Vodkas. They do give you less of a hangover for an added bonus. my two favorites to chase down a good chili dinner(see I on topic) are Belvedere(distilled four times!) and Krolewska(Doesnt Say) both from poland. Both have wicked bottles as added benefit. I have had many others from poland which I could hardly swollow. Well off for free pizza and a few beers at a local establishment. The chef goes nuts on the jalapeno to deter people from eating to much. Amy and I love it though...... MA
