For the second consecutive year my friends at Gayot.com have asked me to write up a list of my ten favorite vodkas, and for the second consecutive  year poor Popov vodka didn't make the cut. Despite being very impressed with Popov's amazing "unbreakable" bottle, customer loyalty (mostly homeless people) and the $4.99 price tag, I just couldn't bring myself to include a brand on a top ten list that tastes so much like the sweat from a gorilla's ball sack. (And in case you're wondering how I happen to be familiar with the taste of overheated primates genitals, well, let's just say I've been around the block a few times, okay?) One good thing I can say about Popov, though, is that it's the ONLY vodka I've ever featured in a short film (see below).

When you're finished watching the Popov video, CLICK HERE to see the complete Gayot.com list of the ten best vodkas on the market, which includes some old stand-bys (Grey Goose, Kauffman) along with a few surprises (if I listed them here, then they wouldn't be surpises anymore, now would they?)

I invite you to post your thoughts on the list in the comments thread. In fact, I DARE you to... punk.

Budem zdorovy!
