Georgievskaya



Vodka
Purchase Price: $12
Place of Purchase: Gotham Wine and Spirits - New York, NY
Rating: 8.0


This well-nigh unpronounceable vodka comes packaged complete with an onion dome cap and it really is a more than decent vodka. In fact, I was mentally and physically prepared to buy another bottle at the low price of $11.99 when I noticed the one bottle they had left had a bunch of strange-looking sediment at the bottom. I don't know what it was, but it resembled shredded Kleenex. My hand immediately moved over to the Kutskova fortuitously placed a couple bottles over. Sometimes things are a genuine bargain and sometimes things are "priced to go" for a reason. A horrifying reason. UPDATE: Two months later, the bottle is still there and it’s now been reduced to $8.99 and put on a different shelf with other “Close-out” specials. Sooner or later someone on a budget and with ready access to a strainer will snap it up.
