Good? Bad? Worth investigating or just stick with Dolin for basics and local interesting stuff for the others?

It's different. It's not going to relace my favorite sweet vermouths - Dolin, Cocchi vermouth di Torino, Punt e Mes - but it's nice to have some variety!

Looking for a very nice sweet and a dry.

Anything you'd like to recommend?

My go-to sweet vermouths are:

  • Cocchi Vermouth di Torino when I want a light touch, my summer vermouth
  • Carpano Punt e Mes when I want something more forward with a touch of bitterness
  • Carpano Antica for something luxurious, my winter vermouth and  a must for holiday cocktails

 

Dolin Dry is my favorite dry vermouth

For a sweet red, Lustau is good and widely available. I'm also a big fan of Contratto. I very seldom used a dry white, but when I did, I used Dolin.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

No amount of belief makes something a fact.  -James Randi, magician and skeptic

Carpano Antica is a favorite. I love it in summer just over ice. I also like the Cocchi di Torino but  can't remember the last time I had it or how. I love the amaro bitters, but surprisingly I don't like compari / or a negroni. My mother always had a bottle of Punt e Mes around in her dotage. Needless to say she didn't have a drop of Italian blood, but she did have an Italian boyfriend.
