    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.

    The French Laundry Menu

    I was putting my French Laundry menu in my menu file and noticed something: every time words from a different language are used on the menu, they appear within quotation marks. Panna cotta, coulis, Noilly Prat, jus, calotte de...

    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)

    Medium Dry Sherry Substitution in recipe?

    Do not use any vinegar. It’s not a substitute for drinking wine, fortified or not. A medium dry sherry is a sweetish, somewhat strong drinking wine. You might use French (Noilly Prat) vermouth (perhaps sweet instead of the...

    Substituting vermouth for white wine in cooking

    Vermouth vs. Wine

    Agreed on the Noilly Prat. Its flavor is not diminished by cooking with it. I am not a martini guy so vermouth will last a lot longer in my house than any bottle of white wine possibly would. Keep it stored out of sunlight or in...

    Why won't bars stock good vermouth?

    ) is akin to Early Times, Scoresby, Cossack, and Seagram’s. Is it too much to expect a place that makes tails to stock something better than Cinzano or Noilly Prat? Something that costs more than $6 a bottle? I guess...

    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.

    Party Mixes
