Steve — Why should I punch you when you’re helping me to shop?

My info. was based solely on fact that I recently purchased a bottle of $7.99 Cinzano (or was it $6.99) at Ralph’s and I saw the Noilly at $10.99 online and figured it would cost even more at some fancy liquor store. I’ve never noticed it at a supermarket or even an ordinary liquor store and I’m not sure I’ve even seen at some of the expensive (or is that merely overpriced?) bars I’ve found myself at from time to time.

In fact, I’m pretty sure the only places I’ve spotted those bottles was in various movies when I wasn’t even sure what it was, hence my assumption that it was probably about double a Martini and Rossi.

But if I can get it for $7 or $8, that’ll work.

And, just for the record, I think maybe the best martini I’ve had so far was at Cole’s Chop House in Napa, a really terrific steak place. Not sure of the proportions, but it was made with Sky 90 VODKA and King Eider Vermouth, a brand that would cost $20.00 for a bottle if you could buy it. The staff told me they’ve gone out of business.

Oh my…Did you chug it down like a chauffeur on his break?

A funny post, Bob! Thanks for joining the blogathon!
