A good friend came by the winery tasting room yesterday and we got to talking about distilling and the subject of vodka came up. He said "I know what you mean, but you really ought to give the newer ones a chance, if only to stay abreast of the business."
So in the interest of staying abreast of the booze biz, I was just in WalMart and found Tito's; one I keep hearing about, for 17 bucks. Wine Spectator seems to like it above a number of pricier and more popular vodkas. It's in the freezer. Ima give it a taste later. I don't drink to get drunk, so it'll only be a dram or two.

My girlfriend is from St. Petersburg RU, as I have often stated. She, like everyone over there, grew up on vodka.
We drink Russian Standard. I find it as good if not better than Kettle One, at about half the cost. (GG for my taste is too processed i.e. bland)
My brother in law comes down four weeks ago and brings some TITO. G/F makes her martini with it as a change of pace. He leaves the bottle behind, as he will return several times for visits before end of Oct. Two weeks ago, G/F makes a 2nd 'Tini with TITO. On second thought.....not so good. The past several visits this weekend, we brought our RS back to the front porch for cocktails.
