Anyone know of bars or restaurants in SF with a big selection of amari comparable to the dozen or so on offer at Dopo? The most common ones around here are Fernet Branca and Cynar. Others I’ve seen around include Abano,...

-era drink that uses Fernet instead. Pics and more here: http://www.saucesupreme.com/babble/victory-bar-386.html

for a Fernet Branca. Girl dubitates. Asks the classical “How you spell it?” I grin. F-E-R-N-E-T. She writes down, takes leave. I comment, preparing my next move:”Would they know what Vemouth means?” . Lo ‘n behold, 10 minutes...

It is, you’re correct. I just like it so I had to mention it. That’s where the smile came in. I mentioned it in a separate thread, but Fernet Branca is another favorite. Not a true anisette, but it is Italian.

My husband developed a taste for Fernet branc while studying in Italy. But it is definitely an aquired taste. I would try in a bar before spending 40 bucks on a bottle. They actually have it at Liberty Bar, his favorite...

Piedmont (along w/ a vin santo and something else). Think a mixture of wine and fernet or vermouth. I’ve included a link w/ a little info below. It was VERY interesting, will definitely try again. The discovery that nooodles...

State store personnel have told me that they do special orders (they put the remainder of an odd selection - Fernet Branca? - yuck) on closeout and I asked about it. I assume you will be limited to the official WA list. The 4th...
