Meet Tito
Tito's Handmade Vodka is a Texas success story, produced at Austin's first legal distillery. ('Won't ask how many illigal ones there might be.)
Using corn rather than wheat or potatoes, creator Tito Beveridge distills it six times; furthermore, it's micro-distilled in an old-fsahioned pot still. The turning point for the artisanal vodka was winning double-gold at the 2001 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Meet the maker and taste his down-home vodka Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Sigel's Addison, 15003 Inwood Road; RSVP at 972-387-9873. It's free.

And Kim... it also happens to be one of the *worst* vodkas known to mankind.

I disagree with Bill. Tito's is up there with many of the more widely-recognized (and over-priced) top shelf vodkas, in my opinion. Anyone who says it's bad should donate their taste buds to someone that would appreciate a fine spirit.

But Billy boy, it makes a great base for limoncello;)

As if we didn't have enough creative uses for corn in our food supply.

Tito's is great, unless you prefer fancy advertising or overpriced European vodka!
