Here's another great drink with an ad campaign I can't say I'm very fond of. Vincent Gallo is a funny man who will make exactly one great film in his lifetime (and he's already made it--poor thing, and no, it's not the one with "Bunny" in the title) and he looks great for three seconds in that Jay-Z "99 Problems" video, but why should anyone on earth trust his opinions on super-premium vodkas? He can't even wash or cut his hair properly. Maybe I'll consult Harmony Korine next time I need some advice on rare, collectible cognacs. Yeah, right. In any case, it's a shame this Polish distiller feels compelled to align themselves with the likes of Vinnie boy, because Belvedere is truly a delightful vodka. I've managed to discover some grapiness and even a bit of peppermint in its formidable taste profile. Who knows what you might find, vodka is, after all, the blankest canvas onto which we can project tastes and flavors both real and imagined. All I know is that this is a top five vodka for me, a pretty good showing since I've literally tried about 80 different brands over the last couple years.

Question?
I really liked your blog. Please read below and check out www.furtherthekingdom.com
Would you consider yourself to be a good person? The dictionary says "good" is to be "morally excellent." Let's check the standard--the Ten Commandments, to see how far we fall short: Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with "heart, mind, soul and strength?" Have you made a god to suit yourself? Have you used God's name in vain? Have you kept the Sabbath holy? Have you always honored your parents? Have you hated anyone, and therefore committed murder in your heart? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? Have you lied (including "fibs"), stolen (the value is irrelevant), or coveted other people's possessions? If you are honest, you know you will be guilty on the Day of Judgment. God, however, doesn't want to send you to Hell. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the Cross in your place, so you could go free. That's how much God loves you. We broke God's Law, but Jesus paid our fine. Then He rose from the grave and defeated death. If you repent and trust in Him, God will forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life. Obey the gospel today. Read your Bible daily and obey what you read, God will never let you down.
Thank you
