The Emperor's new clothes. Vodka snobs who go on and on about a particular vodka - I have them taste a variety of them blindfolded and room temp. The results always surprise 'em. Many find they like some $10 'well vodka' the best and they virtually never can pick out their brand. I find Stoli drinkers can sometimes pick in out, but that's about it. I won't even mention what I think of the Belvedere Bloody Mary knuckleheads or those that think that a $40 vodka won't give you a hangover. wj
