George's Rants And Raves: Russian Standard Vodka

This was a quite simple, straightforward and no nonsense approach and as practical as wearing Ermine in Siberia on a cold winter's day. Quite “Russian” I mused. I wonder what they really meant by “standard”? Could it be the standard by which all others are judged or was it the standard drink of Russia? There was only one practical way to tell for sure.(read

George's Rants & Raves: The Spirits Of The Season
By: george brozowski
Tis the season and it's the reason for this ramble rather than a rant or a rave; however, I will stay on course and discourse about holiday spirits since it's my raison d'être.The holidays, as atheists prefer to refer to it, Christmas for the Christians, Chanukah for the Jews, and Kwanzaa celebrated by African-Americans have different meanings and traditions, but they all share in their love of the spirit and spirits of the season.

By: george brozowski
I was having dinner the other night with a friend, and we were discussing various liquors and wines and occasions and locales as they related to their enjoyment when she asked me if I had ever just let my hair down and reveled in a complete day of drunken debauchery. Without having to consider the question for even a moment, I immediately replied, “Oh, yes. Yes, I have”. She smiled, cocked her head and just said, “Well!” And that started this trip down memory lane.(read

George's Rants & Raves: Oyo Vodkas And Whiskey
By: george brozowski
When I pulled up in front of the Middle West Spirits distillery, little did I realize that I was about to have a spirited religious type of experience. Now, I have been to dozens of distilleries over the years and many have started to look alike but the big difference between them all is the folks who run them. And I was about to meet the most passionate pair of principals I had ever met.(read
