Speaking of gin,...<i>This bar's too fancy for me.<br /><br />Speaking of gin, is there a big difference in martini recipes, or are they pretty much the same?</i><br /><br />Our "house gin" is <a href="http://formzine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/GordonsGin.jpg" rel="nofollow">Gordon's</a>, which is about as run-of-the-ginmill as at gets. We did a blind taste test several years ago and chose it against many others.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-55007283917225154392011-05-02T08:11:15.187-07:002011-05-02T08:11:15.187-07:00When the moon meets your eye, like a big pizza pie...When the moon meets your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's Amaro...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-66674656996180094772011-05-02T07:02:44.115-07:002011-05-02T07:02:44.115-07:00This bar's too fancy for me.

Of the three, only the grappa made it made it back to America--the other two were sad (and funny) casualties of my train ride from Torino to Paris.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-11184597968631121862011-04-30T22:55:52.174-07:002011-04-30T22:55:52.174-07:00Trooper York would kick if he was hung with a new ...Trooper York would kick if he was hung with a new rope, why Pilgrim, I remember when all I had to drink from was a muddy hoofprint and I was happy to have it...<br /><br />But what's wrong with grappa?LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
