Available in all Cdn Costos now? I know that the 1.5 liter 12.99 USD Kirkland vodka in Kahului Costco was way too good a deal to pass up - particularly when to be mixed in fruity/spicy cocktails.
Tito's is corn based, so by some strict standards, perhaps not really a vodka? 😉
FWIW, a dinky little local distillery who just won an award for their small batch artisan gin Category Winner – Sheringham Distillery / Seaside Gin – World Gin awards 2019 also does a white wheat based Vodka. Both are very nice, but I actually prefer either the Phillips Fermentorium Stump Phillips Fermentorium – Stump Coastal Forest Gin | The Spirit of BC, or the Victoria Distillers Oaken or Empress Our Spirits – Victoria Distillers , and their Left Coast Hemp Vodka has a smooth oily texture that almost defies description, and is certainly more than suitable for a straight sipper.
edit: hmm, I see that Sheringham as recently added another botanical blend to their Gin family - Kazuki, which will definitely soon need a road test.

Pear Brandy from New Deal Distillery
We stopped by New Deal Distillery in East Portland, OR. They make a variety of spirits - all from locally sourced ingredients. You can do a flight of 6 drinks, and we chose this Pear Brandy.
Anyone visiting Portland OR? I recommend this stop.

Not here yet, but I wonder if their pharmacy dept will apply for Cannabis licenses once the supply chain bottlenecks are ironed out.
Red eye with lunch and the always popular rum and ginger beer for the dog walk a little later.
My father in law doesn't drink, so he would regift me the bottles of XO brandy that were given to him, and I would regift them to others. I didn't like brandy until one day buying beer at the local liquor store I saw a bottle of XO locked in a glass cabinet and saw the price. I don't regift anymore.
Kirkland Black
No wine or high-test at Costco in NJ -- corporations are limited to one license in the state. Wine at Costco in OH, no high test.
(I really like Costco, but you've got to "shop" the place. Got a Kirkland cashmere sweater for $100 a few years back, the exact same sweater at Saks was $1,500.)
