I'm not much of a vodka drinker but I do like the Polish brand Zytnia. Interestingly it breaks the rule that vodka should have no taste or smell as the tiny amount of fruit flavouring is definitely discernible if you drink it neat. Other Polish brands - Wyborowa for instance - I find a bit too heavy.

A few years ago when my SO and I were impoverished grad students, we invited the classics professor who lived next door round for a kitchen supper. He accepted on condition that he be permitted to supply the wine - which in the event were La Tache 1985 and Taylors 1963. It turned out that the guy had a massive cellar and was looking forward to his imminent retirement, when he figured he would be able to enjoy fine wine almost every night. It ends sadly though: six weeks later, he died of a heart attack.

Red: Chave. That one's easy to pick, tho I did think briefly about Durrbach and Hochar. White's more difficult. My shortlist is: Burgundy: Lafon Alsace: Faller Loire: Branchereau Mosel-Saar-Ruwer: Fritz Haag On balance, I'll go for good ole Domaine Weinbach. I just love what they can do with riesling and gewurztraminer.
