Ok, I lied. After seeing that Marc already tried the HV I reverted to my original plan and made a top shelf Saratoga. i had been meaning to find a reason to open the Cocchi vermouth and wow is this good! I will sample the vermouth solo later but this is an excellent manhattan variation.

The Saratoga

1 fl. oz. Rye Whiskey (Van Winkle Family Reserve)

1 fl. oz. VSOP Cognac (G-R XO brandy)

1 fl. oz. Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi Di Torino)

2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters (1 Angostura and 1 cherry)

Stir all ingredients over ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.

Oops, didn't realize the pic was awful. Sorry.

Half a one of those!

Dan, is that the Casa Lapostolle? Upping your game eh what made you go Chilean? I need to try some more Chilean and Spanish reds, yummy.

It is. We found a deal on that and bought out the store's stock. That was the last of it. Was a tasty syrah.

Finished off the LaJota Cabernet and since I read a nice article on Ports decided to crack open a Jecklin Port that was given to me three Easters ago-----

Nice color, strange bouquet of tire and hubcaps. Not bad, sort of like Port with training wheels; nice starter on your way to a 2007 Dow or a 1994 Quinta do Noval.
