[QUOTE="glpease, post: 39926, member: 18"] Vya is superb, but not always easy to find. Another option is Lillet Blanc. It's sweeter than the current Noilly Prat dry, with a wonderful, subtle floral note in addition to the other botanicals. I've been using it in my Martinis for a few months, and love it. If you make yours in the range of 1:16 to 1:12, it's great. If you're a fan of the 1:8 Martini, it's too sweet, at least to my taste. It's a shame that NP is being Europeanized. It's been my dry vermouth of choice for a long, long time. I not only use it in cocktails, but also for cooking. When I make risotto, a splash of NP dry always goes in the pan before the stock gets ladled in. It perfumes the kitchen, and adds a beautiful dimension to the final result. There's nothing wrong with the European "version" of the aperitif, but one more choice is being taken away from us, likely for purely economic reasons. *sigh* -glp [/QUOTE]
