Can you recommend a very good vinegar? I note that there are many
choices in specialty shops, some of which are expensive, but I hesitate
to buy them based on nothing more than my reaction tot he shape of the
bottle.

I've had pretty good balsamic, and I've enjoyed it very much. But I'd
love to try some "very" good.

Anything that you think is a particularly good value?
