So I really want to find this palinka stuff. I hear that the cherry or peach is really good. Problem- I've called around locally and none of the liquor stores know what the heck I'm talking about. Anyone able to recommend a liquor store in/around DC with a good selection of imports?

Yes, Palinka is a Hungarian/ Romanian brandy. I found a liqueur store that has Palinka.
