We kicked off Taste of Russia 6 with our VIP Dinner and Vodka Tasting at the Hotel Northampton. We were in the hotel's Grand Ballroom this year, which allowed even more Russophiles to attend this dinner.
Dinner was be an authentic Russian meal, plus fine Russian vodkas, sponsored by .RU vodka. Wonderful Russian folk music was provided by Barynya, which was also our selected act for the big Saturday night concert.
Entertainment legend Ed McMahon was our special guest at our dinner, when .RU introduced its new vodka, McMahon Perfect Vodka. Ed regaled us with great stories, offered anecdotes, visited with guests and signed autographs.
