hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Aquired? like ipikak.I'll trust you on that one. Of every pure vodka I have more repest for grey goose than anybody. A really great vodka and they have a great image.I still have no idea how they got to dominate the market but I respect it.At our club we go through more Grey Goose than house vodka. Why do people love it so much? Most drinkers I know couldn't tell the difference between a grey goose cranberry from a belvedere cran. I know why I can tell the difference, becasue I handle the stuff every freakin day. But a normal consumer, what's so new about it. It's just one moresuper premium vodka, nothing inventive about it.

It's a good smooth vodka - also #1 in the world right now. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Of straight super premium vodkas I would say the best that you can find at every bar is grey goose for sure. But hands down, the best vodka out there (only in my opinion) is this norwegian vodka called Christiana. It has an amazing industry reputation but, the stuff is expensive as hell for a bar to have so you will only see it in places with the extra cash to throw around. I have to say it's the cleanest vodka out there. But if that's not around Grey Goose.Why anyone would pay the same price for Ketel one as the Goose I have no idea though. It has more impurities in it that give it the taste of turpintine than any other vodka. I would rather was my bar with it than house vodka.

absolutv Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 at what point are you gonna mention zygo?if your not then ignore the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Ketel one was it 2 years ago but it's loosing steam. Grey goose started to pick up around the same time, but instead of tailing off the just exploded. That's here in NYC through. Every state follows a different trend with alcohol. But your liquor market for vodkas is almost the smae as Miami. But down by you Bacardi is king (the company that is) and corona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolutv Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 have you tried TURI vodka?its owned by Bacardi, which doesnt taste bad..or Van Gough flavored vodka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 My friend absolutv, I'm flattered that you remember me. I'm taking a different approach. I will give as much info to people that I know from working for clubs and with liquor companies. If people want to know what I do they will ask. Outside of that this is the quote I live by and did when we first met."You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough people get what they want."People on this message board come to discuss and be informed. That's my approach. If the respond to my thread I inform, so ask away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutv Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 ya i noticed the new approach.well i still have not seen zygo down here..i have asked for it.. the usually response is giving ZYG vodka or HUH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Absolut you know my feelings about big liquor companies. I mean Turi has everything a highend vodka should be: smooth taste, an invented history, a majestic bottle for the back bar, and millions of Bacardi's dollars. But the fact is Turi is just one of thousands of legitimate contenders to Grey Gooses title right now. I root for the underdog. The idea of a kid in a garage one day out doing Microsoft is such an inspiring vision. I became a Yankee fan when I was a kid because growing up in the 80s they sucked and you really had to love the characters on that team to be a fan. Everyone loved the Mets casue they were winning not because they had some emotional vested interest. But they weren't fans, they were consumers. Fans (evangelists) are leaders. Consumers are just mindless cow that follow the resulting efforts of true leaders that believed when the chips are down.If you are going root for someone to take down the champ of Grey Goose, pick the under dog. Pic the guy with the best product that doesn't have the recogntion money buys. Or just stick with Goose, because for a long time they were the underdogs.

hellomyname-is Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Absolut you know who I work for, but why do you think I chose to work with them. It's not about the money. I'll get less from them than any club job I ever had, but I believe in them. I've been doing this long enough to know that this is one of those underdogs that will win while all the cows are just following the heard. Of course that means I want Cows to follows us one day, but once that happens I'll find a new cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
