...if you remember, and I caught alot of flak last year...
...for my unfulfilled quest to find and buy a bottle of TV...
...I must've checked 60-75 stores here in Westchester County, the Bronx, upper Manhattan, Putnam, Rockland and Dutchess Counties...Cape Cod and Montauk areas while on vacations ...before I found one...
...finally found two 1-litre bottles in a place named "Bottle King" in northern NJ near the NY border...
...I bought only one, but it's gone...
...not being a seasoned vodka drinker, I could not tell you if it is one of the top brands, but I WILL say it was drinkable without a mixer...smooth...
...now usually you hear people say : "What's the difference between one brand of booze and another? They're all the same".
...well, for me, not when it comes to rum...Bacardi's my standard, but there are some PUTRID rums out there, let me tell you...
...in addition, I recently picked up a bottle of New Amsterdam Gin (very nice bottle)...1.75L for $19.99!!!...but, alas the price tells the story...my gin & tonics SUCK now...
...only good in something like a Long Island Iced Tea, where you can hide its taste (or lack of)...
...caution, my belief is that TV was initially succesful due to its ad campaign and Icon status...I was not here then...
...nearly every proprietor I spoke with said that the demand did not last, and that it was on the expensive side...
...'tho Zachy in Scarsdale said that it was selling well there, but that due to a dispute with the TV distributor in that area, they stopped carrying it...I posted this fact, but mistakenly blamed the company...I was straightened out post haste...Duke...
