Yup. One of 'em, anyway.
Monopolowa is another one, not quite as delicious but a good value. At least, Trader Joe's usually has it cheap.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will have to try the Chopin.
Probably the Grey goose too.

What is even happening?
These posts referred to cats? I thought they referred to children.
So, er...what's your niece been up to, Narrator?

The idea of Grey Goose bothers me, but I can't say it doesn't taste good.

How does the idea bother you, -t?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Is GG really that much different from other vodkas to be worth the premium they charge for it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is good. Smooth, nearly flavorless. My thing is, I actively like the flavor of Stoli.

I had a Grey Goose sorbet once. It was awesome. But I don't know if that was the vodka that did it. Made an excellent palate cleanser between the pork and scallops(ew) and the ...huhn. I don't recall the next course. Cousin's wedding. Probably the classiest, fanciest meal I've had, ever. And I remember the pork and scallops (ew) and sorbet only. I'll blame the cold meds I was on at the time.

OK, I'll admit I'm not a vodka drinker. But why does flavorless=good? I like flavor (hi, scotch drinker. Stinky=good in that case.) Alcohol delivery device?

French vodka made from grapes. I'm a little bit of a purist - vodka should be made from potatoes - but not militant about it and certainly not enough to turn up my nose at anything not tuber derived. But the French are good at so many foods and drinks, why they gotta take vodka and win awards all over the place, too? And if you've got grapes, why would you want to distill all the flavor out of them instead of making wine or brandy or grape jelly? It troubles me.
GG is pretty damn smooth, which is, in my experience, what you pay for with premium vodkas. Mostly matters if you are drinking it unmixed, but it does make a difference even with mixers. Whether that's enough of a difference to justify the price differential depends entirely on your palate - I know I can be perfectly happy with well vodka in a lot of drinks, and I'd rather have Belvedere or Chopin if I'm going premium (I'll sometimes order that Van Gogh stuff because I think the bottles are really pretty, but it's not memorable).
