I consider myself a 2ni freak. I also think I know a bit about vino. Sheldon is
correct. After two or three Martini's, it's difficult to tell the Gin or God forbid the
vodka in the drink.
When out I always order sapphire gin.
After 2 drinks it really does not matter.
Now about wine. Why the hell anyone would buy a bottle for dinner astounds me.
You pay at a minimum 75% mark up. Have you heard of corking charges? I always bring a
bottle with me and pay a bit for them to open it. It beats the hell out of what they
want to charge for some bullshit californicating shit they call wine.
And by the way....I say F%ck the vermouth.
P.S. Shely... Garden City, my brother.
