Words of Wisdom

“The one outstanding French vermouth is Noilly Prat (pronounced nwah'-ee prah, and please don't call it "noy-lee pratt") from Marseille. I do not think that their present product quite measures up to their pre-war standard, but perhaps time will remedy that.”
— David A. EmburyThe Fine Art of Mixing Drinks
