The bar doesn't refrigerate, I don't think.
Bars go through it a lot faster than the average home cocktail drinker. [link]
So you should keep your spirits at room temperature, but do refrigerate your vermouth. Vermouth is a lightly fortified wine, and as such it's subject to oxidation, just like any other wine. If you keep it cold, however, a good vermouth should last at least six months before it shows any sign of deterioration.

In other news, does anyone have any silver tequila recommendations other than Patron?
I vote Cabo Wabo.
Yeah, I'll be tossing my vermouth when I get home.

The Buffista sprogs are going to have some very large vocabularies of both the erudite and "swears-like-a-sailor" variety.
I was thinking that we should just give up on the "don't let kids learn swear words" thing. Fuck it. Just let 'em swear.

Emmett can swear all he wants among his peer group.
Matilda too, for that matter, though it might not play in preschool to call the kid who took your playdough a cocksucker.
Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.
Huh.
Dry vermouth is also nice to have around as a substitute for white wine in cooking those times when you really don't want to open a bottle.
cheap vodka. I'm thinking I need to get some Grey Goose
If you're using it for anything other than on the rocks or martinis/gimlets, I don't think there's no reason to buy expensive vodka. I have grey goose at my house because I drink gimlets, but smirnoff or summat is fine for tonics, screwdrivers, etc. Of course, my friend swears he can taste the difference in a tonic, but to each his own.

Given that no one I know in France refrigerates vermouth, and there it is mostly drunk straight, I'm going to go with this is unnecessary.
