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.
Again, it might be because of quicker consumption. It's like spices, I think, it's not like it will go bad per se, but it will be less than its best.
I'm not trying to scare people about vermouth! Just passing along some info/advice. Take it, or not, I don't care.
Short interview with Peggy Fleming - man, my mother and I watched her in the Olympics when I was a tiny child. Possibly in kindergarten.
That's what I meant, it won't be "bad", just maybe not as tasty.
I use vermouth almost exclusively as a white wine substitute in cooking, so I've never bothered to refrigerate it. I will start buying smaller bottles though.
For good cheap vodka, Jon swears by Monopolova.
I'm not sure what he ended up doing but I know he was struggling over what to tell these communities she'd been a part of. I think he just let it lie.
While I understand why he'd choose not to say anything I'd think most communities would appreciate the truth. I know I'd prefer a "sorry about all the Walter Mitty stuff" to all the unanswered questions.
Because it's professional bowling. It doesn't seem like a mystery to me.
It makes me sad when bowling gets dissed. It must be my small-town Wisconsin background.
That iO9 article is like a piece of food caught in my teeth. We didn't move from TT to stop bugging people. We moved because it went pay to play, and we didn't want to lose people who couldn't afford to subscribe.
And wasn't the thread at TT already started when someone said "Don't anger the buffistas?"
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
Straight up and gimlets is about all I use vodka for. And I'm realising that Grey Goose isn't that expensive--outside of bars.
So I'm at:
- Oban
- Grey Goose
- Old Overholt or other whisk(e)y
- Herradura/Cabo Wabo silver tequila (2 votes each)
- Noilly Pratt vermouth
Gin recommendation?
And I totally get the bowling story getting lost in the background. Tennis and car racing and golf get coverage all by themselves.
I think Monopolova is what I used to make Laura's Kahlua recipe last weekend. (It turned out wonderfully, by the way. Thanks, Laura!)
