I don't know if it's that expensive (gin tends to be fairly low-priced compared to some other liquors, and I have only bought it recently at a duty free shop), but Bombay Sapphire is my gin of choice. If you want to go more exotic, you could go for a Dutch gin as opposed to a London Dry gin, but I can't give you any recommendations on those since it's almost like drinking a high end tequila or single malt scotch. If you are expecting to make a martini or a gin and tonic, stick with the Bombay. Hic! Marc ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 08:13:28 -0500 From: "Stewart C.

Plymouth Gin has become one of my favorites recently. You also could buy local and get a bottle of Junipero Gin from the Anchor Distillery/ Brewery in San Francisco. Or try a bottle of Sarticious Gin from Santa Cruz. - -tc ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 10:52:03 -0800 From: Spotted Eagle Ray Subject: Re: Gin On 11/27/05, Tom Clark wrote: > > Or try a bottle of Sarticious Gin from > Santa Cruz.

I don't really disagree, but Grandpa likes gin for some inexplicable reason. "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." -- Mitch Hedberg . __________________________________ Yahoo!
