Dolin“Dolin is a respected producer of AOC French-style vermouths from Chambery, France in the Alps.  The vermouths are produced using an herbal recipe from 1821 and wormwood as their bitter agent.  The neutral base wines are left to macerate with local herbs and plants for several months before being sweetened and fortified.  The Dry makes a superb mixer for dry martinis or to spice up ginger ale.  It has delicate herbal notes from the Alpine botanicals infused in the wine.  The Dry is sweetened to 30g/L and both the Blanc and Rouge are sweetened to 130g/L.” … Read the rest
