"The World's Best Premium Vodka"

Recently a bunch of us "foodies" were about to take a snow-day off and get together. The decision was to become "Tini'z" (get it foodies v. tini) and sit at the warm bar all day watching it snow, sipping the World's Best Premium Vodka Martini (with anchovy stuffed Manzillian Spanish Olives).

Problem is, we didn't have VODKA consensus and we still don't -- It seems it's like asking 5 Doctors (all proctologists) their opinion on "what's aching your ass" and after they get their finger in it ... all have a different opinion!
