HELP, I lost the link to Rachel's recommended GIN's for Martini's. I am beginning to drink them with Gin after many a year of straight vodka usage.

Anyone have the link? Do you find this valuable?

Hey Ms. Polly,

I think you can find it here: http://airamerica.com/content/video-ask-dr-maddow-martinis-europe

It's her latest booze video. I wanted to upload it to the wiki, but I still haven't figured out how to do it. Youtube videos are easy, but this one is not. :( Do you find this valuable?

I've put up a page for gin, but it's empty at the moment. If you want to add the list of recommended gins, go for it! Do you find this valuable?

Hey Polly,

The basic wiki commands are the ADD PAGE, and EDIT PAGE. On this one, the ADD PAGE is on the left hand-side menu bar. The Edit command tends to be on top of the text. You can edit anything on a page, no matter who wrote it.

This is why this is ideal for us. Say someone is reviewing whiskeys and left out bran d XYZ. Someone else who knows about XYZ can edit the page and add a review. Do you find this valuable?

You know, that viedo link you gave me didn't include the list of gins she likes, it was just about how to order a martini in Europe. So I will have to go through the archives to find the list I was referring to. Once in hand, I will be happy to make up a kick ass list for you.

Thanks! The listing of gins Rachel liked weren't on that video link you posted, it only had how to order and make a martini in Europe. The gins is somewhere else, so as soon as I have found it in the archives, I will post and make you a kick ass page! Do you find this valuable?

Sorry about that. You should ask the afryer. He said that he has a lot of her recipes. Maybe he has that info? Do you find this valuable?

You know, I was wondering, do you have that list Rachel gave us about all of the BEST gins to use to make a martini? I lost the link and am not looking forward to going through the archives. So, might you have it? I think there were about 8 of them??? Do you find this valuable?

is the only "true" Martini base. I went to an ECV dedication years before this Martini festival: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/10/22/EBGI690RPE24.DTL also good reading:

My personal pref is Tanq, very dry with two olives, but I am easy... just say no to Safeway Brand! Best I probably ever had was at Death & Co. in NYC. Do you find this valuable?
