I had the opportunity to bartend at a restaurant for the rich (and people who think they are) this summer called the "Standard Bistro" inside a weird neighborhood development in a county bordering Birmingham called Mt. Laurel http://www.mtlaurel.com/ whenever I had patrons sucking down the Grey Goose I felt the sadist need to inform them that I didn't really think the stuff was vodka. It's good, but vodka, come on? There's just too much flavor... it's somewhere between gin and vodka don't you think? Several people got very defensive about their choice of vodka, seemed to feel that I was somehow insulting them by suggesting that they were drinking something "fake" - although this was not my point. It's quite real. It's just not vodka :)
