French Groceries/markets in Bay Area
Sorry, can’t help you there. I believe Noilly Prat Ambre is only available at the company store in Marseillan. Nothing available in the Bay Area unless it’s on the secondary market.

I found Peychaud's Bitters!
a coincidence. They have angostura bitters but are lacking any others, as well as good vermouths (noilly prat not included). I believe ABC carries Angostura orange. I purchased Regan’s #6 through kegworks (aka amazon)

Help a philistine make a GREAT martini, please
high quality ingredients. I like Bombay Saffire gin and Noilly Prat dry vermouth. There was a nice discussion of Plymouth gin on this board, which I now want to try. (The vermouth is cheap, no reason to skimp on that.)

Vermouth: how long will it stay good for?
I’m a voracious gin martini drinker... when I’m not pregnant that is. How long will opened, unrefrigerated vermouth stay good for? I’ve got 1/2 each of Noilly-Prat and Martini waiting for me.
