  • Great article Steve. Byrne has done some great things in his short time here!

  • Gary, I think you're being challenged over a) selection and supremacy of Holly Sonders b) your overall taste in women c) your golf game. You might tolerate one of these items, but not all three.

  • After 2 home runs in the 4th, Arizona up 9-1 against Seminoles.

  • The Costco vodka is pretty good for the price.

  • Yeah, all the Costco people, in hushed tones will exclaim, under their breath, (pause) that their brand is made by Grey Goose.

    Which begs the question, do you really want you money to go to France?

    True, it's good, but he shape of that bottle is crazy. Put both brands in the freezer, get a shot glass and do a blind taste test.

    I can confirm this. I have a good buddy who sells to Costco and he says that Costco's private brand (Kirkland) is oftentimes the best product in the house. What they do is force company's like Grey Goose to serve under their label in order to place their real product (GG Vodka) on the shelf. GG then gets a tiny percentage of the Costco brand's sales, as well as their own.

    Hence, any time you see the Costco brand for any product in the store, it's likely going to be the biggest bang for your buck because the product will be of the highest quality at the lowest price.

  • BTW Grey Goose reoutinely loses taste tests to brands like Smirnoff, even when the testees are Grey Goose fans.

  • OK, went to Costco today, and although I had Titos in the Freezer, bought the Kirkland brand, for $26.99.

    My wife and I both did a blind taste test early this evening. She couldn't make the call as to which one was best, and I gave a slight edge to Titos.

    I know they are both premium brands, so I'll go with whatever is available because I rarely drink vodka neat. Mixed with some diet Sierra Mist, slice of lime and a splash of cranberry and no one can tell the difference.

    Guarantee I could tell the difference between Smirnoff and Grey Goose though.

  • I also meant to mention that plans are not yet firm for the area just north of the construction site. The schematic shows a practice area, but in reality there are a multitude of uses that would fit into that area.

    But it is exciting to see the stadium transform before our very eyes.

    Well now this is odd...

    Steve, you are BlkMtn in disguise? Or did you spoof the pic? lol

    Let me know if you need a rating increase to get your stars.

    Great stuff on the Costco stuff guys. I had no idea, well other than I knew Smirnoff was better.
