Routin Dry Vermouth

Best reasons to keep an open bottle of vermouth on hand: 1. For martinis and cocktails, of course. 2. To cook! A splash in the pan is a flavorful substitute for water. 3. To drink. The high alcohol in vermouth keeps it drinking fresh for weeks. Routin Dry smells like camomile iced tea. Apricots and alpine herbs feature as well, and the palate tingles with palate-cleansing acidity. Suited for more than olives and sesame snacks (yet ethereal with), dry vermouth can become your by-the-glass restaurant go-to, and you'll save on the bill. I wish I had Routin Dry when I made simple butter pasta for dinner and didn't want to open any of my wines! I ended up uncorking a half bottle of dessert wine, but that's a staff pick for another day.
