For me (and several of my friends), the movie would have to be "Sling Blade." I remember when it came out in the theatres so many people were talking how great it was. I had missed it during its run so several friends and I decided to rented it after the film was brought up at a party...

I'm glad you liked the suggestions. I will definitely need to try the Buffalo Trace sometime and over the holidays I will need to look for a different type of bitters. In the meantime, I have been enjoying my Rittenhouse Manhattans.
Friday night I found a nice surprise when I arrived home from work. My Rittenhouse order arrived. Well of course I had to make a Manhattan. All the accolades that Brad and others have given Rittenhouse, I found to be correct. It made the best drink! Thank you for turning me onto this...
Rumblefish, thank you for the link...I have been checking its site since you "Linked it," and the Bonded Rittenhouse finally is back in stock..I bought two bottles to make some Manhattans. I guess I need to have a party. Anyone near Apopka?:D

Like you, I have been exploring making better Manhattans. Like you, I have wanted to try Rittenhouse Rye whiskey but have waited due to the price (Shipping.) So far I find the Elijah Craig my Bourbon of choice and have only tried a few Rye Whiskeys' with the Sazerac the most enjoying...
I've been enjoying Northern Exposure, season 5. I forgot how much I looked this show. These show's script and dialogue remind me of a Kurt Vonnegut book. I'm so glad they are on DVD!

Thanks!! I think I'm still on the fence about Buffalo Trace and once I have some extra money I'll try it or if I find its served at a bar/resturant. I've never found Elijah Craig served anywhere and I stumbled on it just by chance at an Albertson grocery/liquors and I have not...
No Worries Feltfan!
Your new Manhattan's sound interesting (Buffalo Trace/Vya.) At some piont, I will have to give them a try. Since I have enough Sazerac for one more Manhattan on Friday (I have been sharing it with my friends) I will need to be picking up some more Whiskey. I've wanted to...
As a kid, we went to the Drive-in a lot ( I was born in '67.) The three movies that made a lasting impression on me were "Midway," "Murder on the Orient Express," and "Jaws." In college my friend and I discovered Bengie's Drive-in (Essex, Md,) which was really struggling at that time. It had...
I second "Eating Raul" which is quite funny/cheesy. Speaking of the theme 9of eating/food, I'll add "Tampopo" which is considered a "Noodle Western" and the "Laguini Incident." All three films are great 80's cheesy/ black comedies.

When buying my bottle of Sazerac, I also bought some new Vermouth. I was suggested to try Punt E Mes from a friend. When buying the whiskey at TotalWine I found the last bottle of the vermouth, so I thought it was kind of fate. They go quite well together and I am in fact enjoying a...
I finally found a bottle of Sazerac Rye and it made a very nice Manhattan. Thanks for all who recommended this brand. I also having been trying to find the Rittenhouse 100 proof (the econo bottle) however, as of yet, I have not find a bottle. I went to the BEVMO site however they do not ship...
I mainly switch off between Martini's & Manhattan's. Right now, its Manhattan's tried a type of Whiskey (Sazerac Rye) which was highly recommneded in this forum. Thanks!
