Yes they are. Unfortunately, the entrance door on our house dates to 1984. It was painted a hideous green so we spent the last two weeks working on it to increase it's air sealing and painting it. When we were through, we looked at it and decided all we had was a better sealed and freshly painted old, ugly door.

That sounds great Ken. Congrats!

That looks damn good. I need some low country boil.

Well both of the RRs were sweeter than the one with Dubonnet Blanc. So less Martini-like. The Lillet Blanc was actually less sweet and had less bite. The Cocchi was sweeter but had a nicer bite. I preferred the Cocchi and Karen preferred the Lillet so that worked out. Her final appraisal was that the Veper is better. I concur. Decided to revisit a little Willett as an aperitif.

Happy Trails marshall.

Good stuff Jeff and Mike. Me: (without the window above the door)

Wow the Willett was surprisingly tasty. Of course I was three sheets to the wind by that time. Must sample again with greater sobriety. Now a pair of Rosalind Russells, one with Cocchi Americano and one with Lillet Blanc. News at 11.

A wee dram of rye as a nightcap.

I have been following up on Al's aquavit cocktail recipes. The smoke and mirrors is 1 1/4 oz of Aquavit and Campari and 3/4 oz Cynar. The Norwegian Wood is 1 oz Aquavit and Applejack, 3/4 oz Italian vermouth and 1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse. The Rosalind Russell is 2 oz aquavit and 1 oz Dubonnet Blanc. My measuring ability steadily decreases as the night wears on so in reality the latter method is what actually occurs.

Smoke and Mirrors

Only God and George Burns know for sure.

I resemble this remark.

Well the Rosalind Russell was a good take on a Martini. Will have to experiment with some other vermouth and vermouth like ingredients. Now going with a Norwegian Wood Well the answer is yes. It is good.

A Rosalind Russell, Dames!

Excellent news Scott.

Romance Cocktail

I like this answer the best.

F.B.I. Fizz

Question: Norton Reserva Malbec, 2007 or 2008?

Ben, Happy Birthday

I would really prefer CanJam at GABF.

Meh!
