Costco actually invests a lot of money into making good wines and spirits but they are not above trying to replicate(steal) another brand's idea, they've got a pretty good Bailey's knockoff that they paid chemists a lot of money to nick

Didn't they also hire someone from Grey Goose who was whatever the vodka equivalent of a brewmaster is? Or did I make that up?

I love breakfast pan sausage (not the links) and will pick that as my breakfast meat 9 times out of 10. A sausage and biscuit is one of my favorite breakfasts.

not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised, I'll ask the old lady, Costco is her company's biggest client(wine /booze bidness,) and the owner of the company is good friends with the honcho of Costco so they kind of have a handle on what's going on over there

It is, which I said. But its still quality. It should be priced like Tito's, which I love.

Are you arguing with me about something?

In numerous independent taste tests, vodka drinkers have been unable to distinguish Grey Goose or any other top shelf brand from the cheap stuff. It is not surprising since federal law requires vodka to distilled with no distinctive taste or smell, with the exception of the citrus flavoring that is used today. In this particular blind test Smirnoff was identified as Grey Goose.

The real cheap stuff was not used here FWIW. Smirnoff is a solid vodka.

Aristocrat is obvious to even non vodka drinkers.


ETA:

The results? Vodka A, voted the cheapest, turned out to be Grey Goose. Vodka C was Titos (spot on for a mid-range guess). And — drumroll, please — Vodka B, voted the most expensive, was Smirnoff. I was shocked. (Full disclosure: Smirnoff did set up the tasting, but we had no idea which alcohol was which until after the fact.)

And lol

Tacos, bacon.
Yes, they are delicious and make the world better. But so many idiots on social media...crawfish, too. Yes they are good, yes I enjoy them, but this "I NEED my crawfish" bullshite that is now ramping up...forget it.

Blue crab is superior in taste. Tacos are great, but not this overarching thing that so many make ado about.
