A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. These two vermouths come from Samantha Sheehan of Poe Vnyds, a producer that specializes in PinotNoir wines. These are a great after-dinner drink as they're not as sweet as a liquer. Or with a shot of sparkling water or a prosecco. Maybe a bit on the simple/monochromatic note but the kind of wine you just love to sit and sniff all night or put a splash on your girlfriend's neck.
