Ohio drinkers to get earlier start

The world will change just a bit for drinkers in Ohio tomorrow.

That's when October 18 rolls around and a new state law goes into effect, allowing the sale of wines and liquors to begin two hours earlier than now.

Restaurants, bars and carryouts will be allowed to begin sales at 11 a.m., courtesy of the state's need for revenue. The change was part of the state budget bill that recently was passed by the legislature.

Bill's eMailbox: In search of Mongolian vodka

Q: Do you know where I can purchase Chinggis Khaan vodka in the U.S.?

I live in the New York metropolitan area, actually New Jersey. My son lives in Pittsburgh and we occasionally travel. I bought a small bottle in Mongolia and wish I could buy more.

A: You're not the first reader to ask that question. However, even through diligent research I've been unable to come up with a satisfactory answer.

Any time I've spotted Chinggis Khaan in a cocktail lounge, it has been because someone had purchased it in Mongolia or China during their travels. The best info I can provide is to suggest you go here and inquire about buying a bottle or two.

Incidentally, despite the good word-of-mouth reviews this Mongolian product has
been getting, it sells for just the equivalent of $20 US.
