heymisterk Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Let me start by saying that you can't get this beautiful thing at the Costco where I live, but you can have friends of friends bring you four bottles of it from a Costco where you CAN buy hard liquor; in this case, Chicago. I am not a vodka expert, but this tasted pretty damn good to me. I read the label and this 1.7L monster is made in the same town as Grey Goose, and distilled the same way. Difference? The Goose would be literally twice the price.
SweetMarie Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 That a lot of Vodka sauce... My Costco doesn't sell alcohol either, but Cook's Illustrated says if you pour cheap vodka through a Brita filter pitcher it improves it enormously...haven't tried it yet.

[/quote'] Was going to say that. Run cheaper vodka through a charcoal filter two or three times and it'll be smooth like the high end stuff.

I guess Mrs Bow will get upset now!:- I've never heard that before, I'll have to give it a try.
tazzboy Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Well I don't drink Vodka, but I do shop at my local Costco.
FirstMeasure Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 My Costco has enough Booze to souse every Elks Lodge in California. It probably is Grey Goose, Costco gets the best companies to produce their Kirkland stuff. Their Trash Bags are Glad and their Tuna is Bumble Bee's best stuff.
Jeff-7 Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Unfortunately Kansas law doesn't allow grocery or convenience stores to sell liquor (or 5.0 alcohol beer for that matter), and you can't sell it after 11 or on sundays The only thing you can get is 3.2 beer and boone's farm.
Tim Plains Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I hate Costco. I always walk in there to buy something small and walk out minus $100 - $150.
deepblue Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 I hate Costco. I always walk in there to buy something small and walk out minus $100 - $150. Me too...I avoid it now.
heymisterk Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 I hate Costco. I always walk in there to buy something small and walk out minus $100 - $150. That is the danger. I don't have their American Express card, so I always pay in cash. Thus, I usually make a list and bring just what I need, ie; toilet paper, cereal, coffee, a brand new hot tub...
dleth Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I like the place for beer. In the province of Quebec, we get 55 cans of Coors Light for around 50 bucks. Not much of a deal to our American friends but it beats the tar out of the Ontario pricing. We get great Lobster and King crab every once in a while. Oh, and their pork back ribs. Mmmmm Dave
65 Casino Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Costco vs Sam's Club. Which is better? Will try the vodka thing next time I buy some. It has been a few years...is Kingsford Matchlite good enough to filter it through?

SweetMarie Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 didnt they try something like that on mythbusters and it didnt work? Don't know about that, but Cook's Illustrated is the America's Test Kitchen folks...and isn't vodka charcoal filtered anyway?
