Last night we went to the Bangs’ for a tasting of high-end vodka from Poland and Russia.  We all had individual shot glasses labeled with a famous person’s name.  Mine was Pavlov.  Heh heh.

There were 10 different vodkas and Vyl made a card of tasting notes and sheets for us to write down our thoughts and guesses of which was which.

I just enjoyed tasting them and had no idea what a Polish or Russian vodka was supposed to taste like.  I DID, however, pick out the Stoli.  Haha.  My #1 favorite of the 10 was Chopin.  It was creamier than the others and a little sweet.

Vyl also picked up food from a Russian deli.  I tried a perogi that looked totally like a potsticker.  And surprisingly, I really liked this dish that had beets, potato, onions, salmon, and herring at the bottom (the bright pink one).  Sounds disgusting but it was pretty tasty!

Here are the rest of the photos.
