Actually Walter, Kirkland Vodka is bottled in the same factory as Grey Goose. IIRC they are both distilled 5 times and 40% by volume. The label on the Kirkland and Goose says made in France and Ketel One is made in Holland.

Voda - vodka bar at Belden Pl in SF: http://vodasf.com A bit pricey, but interesting selection if you just want to try a shot of this and that

Cheers
holy crap! that sounds like a FULL day of inebriation.

ahhh yeahh^ Grey Goose is def better when your slamming a doubleshot of it, but how often is that? Usually you are in a dorm room, slamming down $13/750ml Vodka with friends before going out!

Of course, when i get my own place, i'll have a bottle of goosey

I find the kirkland signature vodka not to taste to bad. plus i have a huge bottle of grey goose and i just refill it with the costco stuff. no one has been able to tell the difference at least not that they have said to me.

it has a very clean taste and a good buzz to boot. not like that champion winners cup non sense were you fell like crap for a week after drinking that.

Supposedly it is grey goose with a costco label on it made in limited quantities. i dont know if that holds water but it still taste good.

its in a cool bottle too.
